Your Portfolio Website
All of your Portfolio Content
Which Platform to use?
Students can use any software building platform, but we strongly recommend WordPress because there is institutional support at BC.
- Contact the Digital Media Creatives to get your site created and get assistance with troubleshooting. creatives@bridgewater.edu
- All BC students get one free website with WordPress with their BC email that is accessible at wp.bridgewater.edu
Website do's
- Host all your artifacts directly on the website
- Keep your design (graphics, colors, etc) clean and professional
- Make sure your portfolio website is easy to navigate
- You are welcome to display relevant photos (from events such as ASPIRE, student conferences, internship work and study abroad) on your portfolio website
Website Don'ts
- Avoid clashing color schemes
- Make sure your site does NOT display ads
- If you use Google Sites, DO NOT forget to grant individual permissions for each of your artifacts (allow your faculty grader to access each individual file)
- Do not use distracting typography (wild fonts, mismatched font sizes, etc)
