Choices
The table below includes info on about 30 different platform choices. You can use any of them. Or any platform not on the list.
Easy
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.
What Most Students Choose
Most Art 490 Students choose:
- Wix – 44%
- Squarespace – 44%
- WordPress – 10%
- Everything else – 2%
If there’s anything you like – go for it – it will be fine.
Art History
If you’re a writer: an art historian, a museum communications professional, an art reviewer, art writer, and so on, then platforms like Substack, Quire, Medium & WordPress might suit you better.
Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver is more technical than most Art students. I wouldn’t recommend it for most of you. If you like code, or see a career there, Dreamweaver could be awesome.
