After reading the lecture, I would say that due to the nature of my business only LinkedIn and maybe Yelp would serve me best. LinkedIn is a good way for my business to show my resume and find businesses that are hiring videographers, photographers and graphic designers. Yelp would be a good place to find local businesses that I can reach out to, however since I don’t necessarily have a business office I wouldn’t have a page for my own businesses. Since I do freelance work, I work online and drive to the job location rather than having people come to me. Thus, Google maps wouldn’t be much help for my particular business. The other social media options are nice, but I want to focus on just a few first before I start overloading myself with a multitude of platforms to update.
For my template I went with a sleek base and green banner because of my passion for minimalist aesthetics. I wanted to provide my readers with some professionalism as well as a visually appealing blog which would make the readers more engaged. This template is visually appealing and doesn't have too many components that would distract the reader from my posts. Some of the other templates I saw had banners, which are nice, however, I believe that it would be a distraction. I enjoy clean backgrounds so that the posts stand out. The strip of green on the top of the page adds some variation, but keeps the blog clean. For this class, this template fit my needs and is easy access for my peers. The text is large enough so that my posts are readable and the links are clear and easily accessible. Overall, I thought this was the sleekest template compared to the other options.
