After a year offline, you are starting to slowly build a new website. What good fortune! Maybe you are rebranding yourself as a weird mystic asmr youtuber? Here’s some steps to follow to make the best website of your life.

How to make a website

As a video and new media artist with a passion for cats and ASMR, your website is a crucial tool for reaching out to potential clients, collaborators, and fans. A well-designed website can showcase your portfolio, provide information about your work, and help you establish your brand. In this blog post, we’ll outline the steps you need to take to create an effective website as a video and new media artist with a focus on cats and ASMR.

Step 1: Determine your goals Before you start building your website, it’s important to determine your goals. What do you want your website to achieve? Do you want to attract clients, showcase your portfolio, or sell your work? Understanding your goals will help you make decisions about the design, content, and functionality of your website, and ensure that your focus on cats and ASMR is incorporated.

Step 2: Choose a platform There are many website building platforms available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some popular options include WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace. Consider your technical abilities and budget when choosing a platform, and do some research to determine which platform is best suited to your needs. When choosing a platform, make sure it provides the ability to showcase videos, since videos are an important aspect of your portfolio.

Step 3: Design your website Your website should be visually appealing and easy to navigate, with a focus on cats and ASMR. Choose a design that reflects your brand and showcases your work. If you’re not confident in your design skills, consider hiring a professional web designer to help you create a visually stunning website that incorporates your focus on cats and ASMR.

Step 4: Create content Your website should include information about your work, your background, and your portfolio. Make sure your content is well-written and clearly presented. Consider including a blog to showcase your latest work and share your thoughts and insights on cats and ASMR. Utilize high-quality images and videos to give visitors a glimpse into your world.

Step 5: Optimize for search engines Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of making your website more visible to search engines like Google. By optimizing your website for search engines, you can increase the chances of people finding your website when they search for keywords related to your work and interests, such as "cats and ASMR".

Step 6: Promote your website Once your website is live, it’s important to promote it. Share your website on social media, reach out to friends and colleagues, and consider running a paid advertising campaign to reach a wider audience. Utilize cat-related and ASMR-related hashtags to reach a wider audience.

Building a website as a video and new media artist with a focus on cats and ASMR can seem daunting, but by following these steps, you can create a website that showcases your work and helps you achieve your goals. With a well-designed website, you can connect with potential clients, collaborators, and fans, and take your career as a video and new media artist to the next level.
