Select an appropriate theme

This is my chosen Theme, it is called Textbook and its free.

This is what it looks like. The font that is used be default isn’t very modern and I don’t think it works well for me, but apart from the font choice I think its perfect for me. It’s great for distributing and organizing information in a clear way. I changed the font so it was easier to read and more consistent throughout the website. Compared to other website themes it seemed better at showcasing Images, video and Text. Its easy to navigate all images and text align well together with them not being all over the place.

Image Optimisation

To optimise images I would export images in the JPG format for a smaller file size.

Social media

These are my social media accounts
