Creating Your Website

What is Wix?




Emily uses Wix to create her personalized website. During our two weeks together, I have learned how to edit and fashion a beautiful, unique website to promote your business. She had me focus on editing the Senior Photographs page on her site. There I updated her photos as well as linking items to her Instagram page. I also made sure that everything looked good on the mobile version as well as desktop, since things can transfer and look funny on your phone. A website can be VERY important in your career because that is how you advertise you and your business to the world. It helps people learn more about what you do and see your work. Through this experience I feel better prepared to someday make my own website to help promote my services/business.

We ended up buying a silver vase, some colorful bowls and a potted plant. The Shoot Staged items Positioning the camera We shot at a house that recently had their kitchen remodeled. We used the items we bought to make the empty kitchen look homey. During the shoot, I moved around the lights (Emily got new ones and this was our first sho...

Welcome! My name is Victoria Osterhus. I am currently a senior at Minnetonka High School and will be participating in the Capstone Project.

During this Capstone project I hope that I will learn more about starting a design-based business online and managing a photo shoot from start to finish.
