Hi guys My name is Tom Antos
and I am here today with my brother Lukas
Hello
And I wanted to do this video to
talk about or show you guys, actually how to create a website
And why you should have one, right, that's the main idea
why a fimmaker or other visual artists
why it is a really good idea, an important thing to actually have a website, right?
What are like the main reasons?
Well, I would say the biggest one is
you want to be able to show off your work
If you are a photographer or illustrator or filmmaker like me
You want to have a central place where people can go and see your work
Then if they like your work, hopefully
somewhere where people can easily contact you
So that is the second reason
and I think the last reason is
especially if you start growing your website if you have a lot of visitors
is that you can monetize that by selling products
So we are going to show you how we built a website
and we used Wix.com
and some of the benefits of using Wix is that
they have dedicated templates, design templates
for filmmakers and visual artists
So that is a big thing
and overall, the designs that they offer are very modern, sleek looking
and they've got
all the latest design effects that you see on the web
you'll have at your disposal
Also, another important thing is that all the designs
they work great on desktop and mobile
So that is something that will be very easy for you to implement
And I think it's very important because these days
even our website, statistically, it's like 50/50, pretty much
when it comes to traffic 50% of people
consume or visit our website on mobile devices, right?
Yeah, and the thing is we're probably going to be shifting more and more into mobile
but you still have to take care of the desktop visitors
especially when it comes to selling things
Most people will still use a desktop
So that's why you need to have the experience work for
both types of visitors
Also Wix has some really, of course it has plenty of apps
that will make things easy for you
but there is a couple of apps that I want to mention quickly
It's the Wix Video app that you will see us use in this video
and also the Pro Gallery app
and that's a great tool for showing off photos
so if you are a photographer especially
that's a great tool and
all these apps just make things easy and you'll be able to, for example
for videos, you'll be able to easily upload videos
or share videos that you already have on other websites
like Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo, for example
And you can monetize those videos
That is another big thing
And monetizing, it's not just selling but you can also
rent and offer subscriptions and
everything is very easy to set up thanks to these apps
But it's not just the digital goods, right?
You can actually sell physical goods. Let's say you have hats
That's right. You can sell merchandise as well, yeah.
Anyways, let's just show them how we actually created the website
This is how the website is going to look
The Home page
Blog
a couple of pages showing off our work
the About page
and of course the Contact page
So as we mentioned, we are going to be using Wix to create this website
and as you are about to see this is a very simple tool to use
Here on this screen there are a few options and
you could choose photography or Portfolio & CV
which is what I chose
I also experimented with a few other options
and basically there wasn't like a huge difference
the ones I chose, at least
in terms of what I was getting in terms of the initial design of the website
So, don't worry too much about this
You'll still have plenty of opportunities to adjust things
if you need to
But for visual artists I guess it makes sense
to go either with Photography or Portfolio
Now here, you have to make a decision
whether you want to use the ADI or the Editor
With the ADI, it is a very simple tool to use
It does everything for you
And with the Editor
you've got more control, but there is a bit more work for you to do
Now, I would start with the ADI
and then, if you need to use the Editor
The thing is... if you start with the Editor you cannot go
or once you switch to the Editor you cannot go back to the ADI
So that's why I recommend starting with the ADI
For this website that I built
there was one functionality I could not implement with the ADI
That is why you'll see me use the Editor
in the last stage of the build of this website
So I am just going to pick the ADI here
Here you just give a bit more information about your website
and this way the ADI can do a better job providing you
with the right design
So here you actually have a few options for filmmakers
You could choose the Film Producer
I just picked the Film Director Portfolio
Again, whatever you choose, I don't think it makes a big difference
You'll still have plenty of opportunities
to change things up, so there is no wrong answer here
Here I can add a few more things to the website
I am going to add a blog
Now when it comes to blogs, should you do it or not?
They are really useful, I think but
they do take a lot of time, so if you are a busy filmmaker
and you are on your own, you don't have another person
to help you maintain a blog
then I would say, don't worry about it at this point
just get your website out and show off your work
but long term, yeah, it pays off to have a blog
so if you are able to bring someone onboard
to help with a blog, then I would include a blog in your website
Here you can also see that you can add the ability to sell online
so that is really cool that the ADI allows you
to easily add this functionality
Whether that makes sense for you right now
or maybe in the future, that's a different thing
but it's at your fingertips, if you need this functionality
So I am just going to add a few details about the website
the name and the address which is
just a fake address, or actually I think it's the address
of the Wix office in New York
but that is what I am going to put in for now
The ADI offers to find for you assets for your website
By assets I mean images, information, text and so on
because that is the most time-consuming part of building the website
it's actually getting all the content you want to publish together
So you can quickly here use this tool and
it will look what content is there online
Here is some stuff that the ADI found about us, a few of our websites
but I actually prepared all the images and whatever I needed beforehand so
I am not going to take advantage of this. I am just going to click Skip
Here I am putting in info about our social accounts
and this way the website will nicely link to them
Now the ADI gathers all the information you entered
and the website is about to be built
Here we pick a design template
I am going to pick the Black Ice
and here is the Home page
Now it still doesn't have any sections
just the header and the footer but
as you can see here
Wix or the ADI is going through and adding different sections
so Welcome, Gallery and so on
whatever it thinks you need on your Home page
So here is where the ADI finishes its job
and gives you a nice shiny website
Of course, you can further customize the website and
you can actually turn off the ADI at this point
and you can do things on your own
create new pages and do anything you need
but first time around I would for sure continue with the ADI interview
and continue with the customization of the website
So I am just going to preview the website
So here you can see the Home page with all its sections
So I really like the look of the website
It is very modern, professional
I am going to go back to the ADI to customize the website further
I was trying out a few different site designs and experimenting
but actually the original choice, the Black Ice was the one
I liked the most
As you can see in the menu on the right side
you can customize other things like the website color, fonts
the layout
You can create new sections, edit sections
You can create new pages, and so on and so forth
And you can jump in and do any of this on your own
or you can ask the ADI to guide you through every step
So in the site design, you can go and experiment with
these colors sets. I tried a few but actually
I went back to the original recommendation by the ADI
and I have to say in many cases
when experimenting with the design of the website
I would just go back to the original recommendation
So now I am just going to fix some of the text on the Home page
Now I am going to work on the About page
So here you can see again, there are different templates for the page
So here I just chose one and
I am going to change up the hero image
So this is how the About page looks now
So here I am cleaning up the Home page
deleting a few sections here that I don't really care about
I am going to change the image
So now I am going to create a new page, a Contact page
Here you can see again a few typical pages that you can choose from
Just change the image
So I don't really care about this map here
so I'm just going to unclick this little radio button
So this is how the Home page looks now
I've got here this gallery that I...
I am going to delete it
The idea here is that I actually want a section where I show off the videos
videos that are hosted on YouTube and Vimeo
so, videos hosted on other websites
now, at this point I didn't know how to do it
and it looked like I needed to go to the Editor here to do it
but the thing is, if I go to the Editor, I cannot go back to the ADI
So, I still wasn't sure how I was going to do it
Now, I could have easily added videos to my website
to this gallery that I just deleted
by uploading them to the website
but that's not what I wanted to do
I wanted to actually share videos, show videos that I am hosting
on YouTube and Vimeo
and that was not possible with the ADI
So I will show you how I end up doing this
using two different methods, actually
But I am going to show you how to do it with the Editor
That's how you will have to do this at this point
Now Wix has told me that soon enough
you'll be able to do this within the ADI itself
so then, it's going to be really simple
Not that it is not simple using the Editor, as you are about to see
So here I am experimenting with the gallery
just changing up its look
but again, the main thing is how do I link to YouTube and Vimeo pages, right
Here, if I go I can actually put videos instead of images into this nice gallery
but those videos would have to be hosted on your website
and that's now what I wanted
you might want to do that
but actually, so the way to do it
you actually have to go to the Editor
You have to leave the ADI for good
you cannot go back to it
you have to use the Editor
So now that I am in the Editor
Actually, the first thing I am going to do
is just rearrange the order of the pages
Not that I could have done it before in the ADI
it's just that I had forgotten to do this
So now I am on the Tutorials page
I am just going to add here
go down to Video
and you can add videos from YouTube, Vimeo
So, it's pretty straight-forward
You just put in the link
and you can customize it more
I am going to drop another video
So once I have all these videos
the main challenge now is just to
arrange nicely the video windows
That's why I said I wanted to use a gallery, right
to save myself this step
and now I have to go do it myself
although you have these tools on the right side here
to properly align the windows
So this is a quick job but
I wish this functionality was supported in the gallery
So this is the Tutorials page now
So I have that part done
Now, I wanted to do a similar thing on the front page
just not show as many videos here
but it's the same idea
I am just going to use that little app
to add videos
and then relink them
to YouTube and Vimeo
and arranging them is the main job
I just want to have a few highlights, a few videos
and then have that button there
if you click it, it takes you to the Tutorials page
where you see all the tutorials
So this is the tutorials section on the Home page
So I am just going to change the background
just wanted to make it different from the next section
So this is how the website looks now
Home page, Blog page
Tutorials
So as a visual artist, I am sure your going to have
a lot of great shots to show off
so this design really suits visual artists
So now I am just going to click Publish
and the website is live It is as easy as that
Now there would be an extra step if I wanted to use
my own proper domain
but otherwise that's all it takes to publish a website
For all the details check out Wix.com
The main decision is whether you're going to use
your own domain name or whether you want to use
the domain name from Wix
Because there would be cost if you want your own domain
which I would suggest getting for sure
So on the Wix website you can see the different paid plans
and what you exactly get
But even just the free version
gives you all the functionality you saw me use in this video for this website
Now, here I am going to show you another way to create a gallery of videos
that are hosted on other websites like YouTube and Vimeo
and here I am using this app Wix Video
You do have to use the Editor for it, not the ADI
although I am hearing that the ADI will support this functionality soon
Basically, this is another way to create like a Tutorials page
where you are sharing videos
and they are all nicely arranged on one page
So there is not much to using this app
You just
You just drop it onto your page
You just resize it
which is really easy here
So now I am just going to go here
to Manage Videos and
link to our YouTube and Vimeo videos
So it's really quick to go add videos
as long as you have links readily available
then you can very quickly add a whole bunch of videos
Now the way the videos are organized is as a channel
You can see some of the options here
So you can actually charge people for this content
or make it just free
Here you can change how many videos show up
at the bottom of the video player
Here I am just setting up the channel just giving it a name and
You can connect your PayPal account so that
if you do make your videos payable
the money goes straight to your PayPal account
Now one thing that I did not realize at first
is that when you click one of those smaller windows
the video doesn't play in there
the video player is only at the top
Here I go full screen on the video
Finally, I decided to change up
the videos that I chose for this second version of the Tutorials page
I am just going to pick some of our more popular videos
So now I've got two channels
Quickly, I am just going to reorder the videos
And now when I go to this new page
which I just renamed to Channel
I just go quickly it and tell it that
I want to show a different channel or group of videos
So this is the live website
This is how the website looks right now
So I really like this Wix Video app
it makes things easy
Plus it provides additional functionality like
for example, monetizing videos which is
which a big thing
So this is the final website
Here you can see the Home page
the Blog page
This is the Tutorials page that I used the Editor for
and here I had to set up the layout myself
Now here is the page the Channel page
that uses the Wix audio app No, the Wix Video app
So that's another way
And then again for the Wix Video app
you do need to use the Editor
And again the About Me and Contact page
Basically, the Contact page and the Channel, the Tutorials page
in our case would be the most important pages
because Tutorials and the Channel page is where
you show off your video film content
Here I am just showing that the website
links to our social accounts
and yeah, that's a very modern, clean website
that took less than 3 hours to set up
and has all the functionality
you need at the start
Now, yeah, down the line
you might add other great features like monetizing
things like that but
It's really impressive what you can achieve
in a couple of hours
So hopefully you guys are now convinced
that building a website is easy
As you saw, there is no coding skills necessary
Yeah
And for me, the process was intuitive
and it was fun to actually play with different design choices
Yeah The most important thing
at the end of the day you end up with a
professional and modern-looking website, right?
That also has a functionality that
serves your business and career purposes
Yeah
which is very important
So definitely, if you guys don't have a website
Don't delay Get on it
Also, check out our website
the one that you just saw us build
It's a live website
There is a link to it in the description of the video
and as always for any more information
things like that
if you just want to find out about some of the other
things we're doing as always
all the links and everything
are in the description of this video
So, anyways that's it
Hopefully, you guys enjoyed this video
and we'll see you next time
See you soon
