You can see our finished website for Garage Filmmakers here: https://www.garagefilmmakers.com ⬇️More INFO below⬇️

I have joined forces with a few other filmmakers to form Garage Filmmakers. We have produced together lots of music videos along with various films and commercials. So far we have mainly worked within North and South America and now we want to attract clients from all over the world. In an effort to get the word out and to show off our skills we knew we needed a website. I've used Wix before to build my personal website so I have decided to give them another shot. Well that plus the fact that Wix has offered to sponsor this video! This video shows you how I build our new website from scratch but as you will see the final website differs a lot from the one I did in this tutorial. That's because I ended up adjusting a lot of things once I got some feedback from friends. This tutorial is around 16 minutes long but to build my final website it actually took me almost 4 days as I constantly went back and forth making adjustments. So while it's not fast or easy making a good website. I can say that Wix does make it as painless as possible. First of all I don't know much about HTML or coding and the templates they offer really allow someone like me to build a website purely visually. I'm an artist and I just want to quickly adjust the position of graphics and size of text etc. Wix really does make that part easy. Not to mention they start you off with a great template. One thing you will still need to do is to create your own videos, photos and text copy that make your website original. So while it's still hard and takes a long time to make a good website, it's actually fun. I felt like I was adjusting things in Photoshop until each page looked how I wanted it to look.
