However, there are many restrictions that comes with this strategy of gaining an online presence. Firstly, you start with a template provided by the CMS you are using, this template will essentially be the same as everyone else's, preventing you from standing out from the crowd and essentially making your online presence mediocre at best.
There are many different CMS systems to choose from, such as:
- Squarespace
- Cargo Collective
- Indexhibit
- Wordpress
- Format
- Bēhance
- Adobe MyPortfolio
- Wix
- Weebly
- PortfolioBox
- Carbonmade
- Moonfruit
The most common being Squarespace, however, it is off-putting to know that as graphic designers we are meant to exhibit our web design skills, this is extremely difficult when you use an already provided template. So rather than featuring projects that have web design within them, kill two birds with one stone and create your own unique, custom website built from the ground up, as this is essentially a piece of design in itself.
