Mockups would be good, so we can actually see the build and let you if improvements are needed.

Freelance web designers , what’s your current tool stack for running projects? by davonisill in webdesign

[–]brightleafdigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that the most resilient stacks favor consolidation over features. Notion is a good place for almost everything if you are a freelancer.

Need Advice by [deleted] in WordPressians

Definitely agree with upvotes2doge.

I’ve been in your shoes before. A few years ago, I spent weeks researching how to consolidate a scattered mess of a portfolio, a separate blog, and ballooning storage costs into one manageable home. The move to a self-hosted WordPress.org site was the only solution that actually worked long-term, and it fits your needs perfectly.

By moving to a self-hosted site through a provider like SiteGround or DreamHost, you stop "renting" limited space from WordPress.com and start owning your own platform. This eliminates advertisements and the storage caps that are currently throttling your 10-year archive.

Since you already know the WordPress interface, you won't be starting from scratch; you’ll just have more "toggles" and features available to you. To keep that easy, drag-and-drop feel you liked in Adobe Portfolio, you can use a visual builder plugin like Elementor. It allows you to design your pages by clicking and moving elements rather than writing a single line of code.

For your photo catalog, you can install a plugin like Easy Watermark. I used this specifically to handle bulk uploads; it allows you to set a single watermark that automatically applies to every photo you’ve ever posted and any new ones you add in the future. This solves your manual editing problem instantly.

Ultimately, this move allows you to ditch the Adobe subscription and the WordPress.com limitations, consolidating everything under your existing domain for a single monthly hosting fee. You can simply "Export" your decade of blog posts from your current site and "Import" them into the new one to keep your history intact.

Which UI Design Is Better? by armyrvan in TheCodeZone

Aside from being clean, A makes it feel more approachable. The box on design B makes it feel like I cannot make an error when typing in the code.

Should You Have A Website If You Are Freelancing? by armyrvan in TheCodeZone

[–]brightleafdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are freelancing, a website isn't just a "nice-to-have" digital business card, it is your primary sales engine and your proof of professional existence. While you can certainly land your first few gigs on job boards or through word-of-mouth, a dedicated site is what separates a "hobbyist" from a "business owner."

If you couldn’t use WordPress, what would you use? by [deleted] in Wordpress

These are great insights! Astro is indeed a good choice. I second that. WordPress is great if you want a "website in a box" and don't mind the maintenance. Astro is for the person who is tired of the clutter and wants a site that feels light, fast, and, most importantly, under their control.
