Introduction

This video is a workshop on creating and understanding websites for artists. Christelle introduces Morgane Pichard, a graphic designer and web designer, who will lead a four-part series on website functionality. The video focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of website creation, including domain names, hosting, CMS (WordPress), content creation, and optimization.

Key Takeaways

1. Website Structure: A website comprises a domain name (URL), hosting (storage platform), a CMS (like WordPress), and content (text and images). WordPress is an open-source, constantly updated platform, offering flexibility and control over website design and content.
2. Domain Name and Hosting: Choosing a concise, memorable domain name is crucial. The presenter recommends O2Switch for its all-in-one domain name and hosting packages.
3. WordPress Usage: WordPress is used by 40% of websites and is open-source and constantly updated by its community. It's free to use, though domain names and hosting require payment.
4. Content Preparation: Before migrating to WordPress, users should prepare their text, photos, and logos. Images should be optimized (under 200KB) and renamed descriptively for SEO and accessibility. Using descriptive file names and alt text is essential for search engine optimization and accessibility for visually impaired users.
5. Professional Email Address: Creating a professional email address (e.g., yourname@yourwebsite.com) is recommended for a more professional image.
