How to Make a Portfolio Website in WordPress 2016

My Website:

Do you want to learn how to make a portfolio website? In this tutorial I go through a step by step process of how to create one. Below I have a breakdown of the times for each section. I have taken out some of the basic sections that can be found in the udemy course such as the bonus and intro to save you some time as the viewer. Also before we start this portfolio website course I show you a preview of what the final website will look like.

I apologize I accidently mixed up the setting numbers, but you can easily locate them here:

1:01:29 Section 9 – Customization Area Modifications
1:07:07 Section 10 – Creating a Free Logo
1:15:40 Section 11 – Creating a Free Favicon
1:21:08 Section 12 – Another Free Tool Called Canva

    Thank you Tom! I wrestled with quite a few tutorials before landing on yours! I was finally able to build an online portfolio for an interview tomorrow (gulp). Your instruction was clear and succinct. I especially appreciate the personalization of plugins and widgets and all of the other helpful resources you provide. Bravo!

    Esta es mi primera vez usando WordPress y me sentia perdida totalmente, especialmente si estas acostumbrada a utilizar sofwares como Indesign or Muse que literalmente debes hacer cuadritos y link por todos lados. No te imaginas lo mucho que aprendi en este tutorial y pondre todo en practica para dejar mi portafolio perfecto y listo y con orgullo mostrartelo. Muchas gracias por el tiempo que te tomaste, por esas claras explicaciones y las paginas que nos recomendaste. Nuevamente, espero mostrarte pronto los resultados. "Gracias Totales"

    Hey. great course. is there anyway that I can put the images into categories but that I have to actually click on the menu to go to that category. like for example jeans, shirts and shorts. all organized in each section rather than mixed. thank you

    Great tutorial! Thanks!! I have a question. Is it possible to start the procedure from section 3? Because I am not sure yet for my domain name? And in general if I want to experiment in creating sites can I do that? Start from section 3?

    Excellent clear tutorial, many thanks. can you explain how to adjust text space on the heading, where you have portfolio, my heading has gone into two lines and they are over lapping, I've looked at padding but cant seem to find where to adjust it.
    Cheers Tom..
