Platforms

Platform Options

Keep scrolling down for many choices. But here are the platforms most students choose. All platforms can produce similar-looking websites. They will all frustrate you a little as you learn where all the buttons are hidden, but you should pick things up after you put a bit of time in. You may use any platform listed on this page. Or any platform not listed on this page. It’s up to you.

What Most Students Choose

Most Art 490 Students choose:

  1. Wix – 44%
  2. Squarespace – 44%
  3. WordPress – 10%
  4. Everything else – 2%

Art History

If you’re a writer:

  • Art Historian
  • Museum Communications
  • Art Reviewer
  • Art Writer
  • Grant Writer
  • Art Educator

These platforms might suit you well:

Art x Technology

If you’re an Art x Technology type, these platforms might interest you. I’d say they’re “easy”, but less easy than Squarespace, Wix, etc. Not for non-tech types. And even for Art x Tech people, they might be cooler ways to go, but it might mean you’re slower to update your portfolio.
