In-Depth Information
Works that make it to the front page get there through
a combination of member comments and site curators.
Almost all members have personal websites as well, and
a featured position in Behance almost always leads to
substantially more personal website traffic.
Some sites encompass all creative professionals
equally. Others draw one category more than others.
For example, LiveBooks (www.livebooks.com) is becom-
ing the professional photographer's Flickr. Although it is not free—you buy a monthly
subscription—it takes all of the worry out of portfolio creation. Your site is built on a
template and attractively customized by an in-house designer. Once that's done, you
control updates, sequence, and content.
The pluses of this approach are that it is fast and affordable, particularly if
you compare it with the price of a designer creating a site from scratch for you. A
templated portfolio can be the best way to get your work online when you are unex-
pectedly let go from a full-time spot. The templates are attractive and take care of
visual decisions like layout and fonts, as well as shielding you from having to learn a
new application, like Adobe Dreamweaver.
There is some additional credi-
bility when others are talking
positively about you, and you're
not just thumping your chest one
more time.
