What is up everybody? Welcome into this new video of Tech Brass
0:02
Let's take a look into how you can create an actual portfolio totally free inside Google Sides
0:07
So the very first thing I wanted to do is to look out for some portfolio landing page
0:13
let's say, just like an inspiration that can be helping us to get started with
0:18
So for example, I do love to use Behance. So BeHands is a place that was created by and for the actual Adobe, by the actual Adobe
0:28
And here, what I want to do is to just try to get started with the website design
0:34
So let's say that I wanted to look out for portfolio landing page
0:38
And here I have a lot of assets. For example, I have this one as a photographer, a film director, and much more
0:45
So let's see for example, that I'm making some creating content. So let's say that here, let's go for portfolio content creator
0:54
So I'm going to get something a little bit more specific than that. for example this one or this one or this one so you can choose whatever option you want to
1:03
and once you do choose the one the best suits for you we can use this as a template to get started
1:09
with so whether we can let's say start this totally from scratched or we can start with an actual
1:15
template so you can go here into google sites and inside google sites we can start a new site
1:22
whether that would be totally for blanked or even we have the portfolio template that we can choose
1:27
or leave it free. So if I click into template gallery, it's going to be showing me a little bit
1:32
much more elements to add into my actual portfolio. So I'm going to show you just really quick
1:39
if I use the template of the portfolio. So I click there. And as you can see here, have just a quick
1:46
picture, basic picture. Hi, I am your name, a role from, and the location. I'm going to scroll
1:53
a little bit down, select the work, and get in touch, add, in
1:57
email address, home about, and the project. So, as you can see, this is something too easy
2:03
So I can totally just to use a template, or even you can look out for some Google site free templates
2:11
but at the end of the day, I think it's going to be much more faster to you to customize the elements that you wanted to check it out into your actual Google sites So now that I have chose what I can look out for let go back into your sites And here I wanted to just get started with something totally brand new
2:31
For example, the blank area. So now if I used my template, as you can see
2:36
have content creator portfolio, and I have just like that my very first image
2:41
So I can go back. And instead of using this as the page title
2:45
I'm going to just delete this, and I don't want it to see this Heather
2:51
I wanted to actually add a full image for that. So for that, I'm going to just open a new tool that is, once again, totally for free, called Canba
3:01
So into Canba, what I can do is to create a new design. That can be helping me to get started with an actual portfolio
3:08
So if I go into my design, let's go for portfolio like this, and I do have a lot of presentations
3:14
So let's say that this one is actually the one that I was looking for. So I clicked that
3:19
I hit into customize the template. And this is the part of what I wanted to start by customizing it
3:25
So for example, here, Daniel, get checked, just delete this. And let's go for Tech Express Graphic Designer
3:34
I'm going to change this for content creator, portfolio. And this image, I'm going to change this for our logo, our actual brand logo
3:44
I'm going to go into upload files. I'm going to go into my downloads
3:48
And for this tutorial, I'm going to try to use actually something else that we had created a few weeks ago
3:55
There was an actual branding logo of another company like this. So I add this image, and now that I have added this correctly
4:05
I'm just going to do something really easy so you can see how it's going to be looking to our actual Google sites
4:11
go into show, go into download. The size should be leaving like this
4:16
And I'm just going to choose my first page, because this is an example, right
4:21
We're going to hit into download. And now I'm going to go back into my Google sites
4:28
And inside the Google sites, I'm going to just save this real quick
4:32
I'm going to hit into images. I upload the image that we have just used
4:38
which in our case is this one I going to hit into open and there we go So now what I want to do is to use this as a full image So I going to hit into on crop Even I can add my own header and into my hather I can use the image that we have just downloaded as the actual hather So I can just delete this image that we have just imported and I delete this part that says home And there we go So I just needed to make this scroll and this scroll
5:09
scroll so I can now continue. So in this part, now that we have an actual header, we can continue
5:15
by adding some more information. Let's see, for example, the section color. So style number one
5:21
for example, I can just even choose a new image. For example, this one. And I hit now into open
5:28
And there we go. This is how it's going to be actually looking. So just use all of this
5:34
elements into what is exactly what you wanted to see into your actual website
5:39
Let's go back into Canber and I'm going to go into the second section for example, this one
5:43
About me. I am a graphic designer, specialization used interface, blah, blah, blah
5:48
So this is the part where you can do this directly into Google sites
5:52
I'm going to go back into Google sites. And let's go into themes
5:56
Now here into themes, let's say that I have this custom one that says simple
6:02
And I'm going to try to customize this actual section that says, let's see, for example, this one
6:07
Here I'm going to import portfolio. I'm going to hit now into next
6:12
I have my preset colors. I have my phones and I create my theme
6:17
Inside my theme, I wanted to change the actual style, which in my case, the background
6:24
I'm going to use something new. I'm going to add new. And I'm going to try to do something greater like we were actually doing in here
6:32
We're going to hit now into save. So if I wanted to send people into a specific video of YouTube
6:37
YouTube, email or whatever, I can go and look out here for the button
6:43
And let's say click here, for example. Name, click here. And here into linked, let's go for YouTube.com as an example, right
6:52
So we're going to hit now into Insuit. And here I'm going to just move this into the center part
6:58
Or I can just move this a little bit more down. I going to go up tag box And here let say let see my latest work in the 2023 for example I click into a line like this and I use this to input down here
7:17
So I'm going to hit now into Published, the web address. Let's say that this is TechSpress portfolio
7:26
Now, if this one is available, I'm going to hit now into Published, and this one is going to be
7:30
helping me to, let's say, have my portfolio totally for free and have to be absolutely for anything
7:36
So I hit now into Publist, I open any tab and I paste the Google side section here
7:42
If it doesn't appear, though, we can go back once again. I'm going to hit now and copy the Publist side link
7:49
And once again, I'm going to try this once again. And there we go. We are now inside here
7:54
Just make sure that your links are actually working. For example, the Seat My List work here in 2023
7:59
Click here. I click them and this one automatically sends me into YouTube.com
8:04
which actually is working like really, really great. So lastly, I'm going to be showing you that you can add more stuff
8:11
than just insert boxes and images. So you can add image carousels
8:17
You can add dividers. You can add spaces. You can add your social links
8:22
You can add YouTube videos. You can add your own maps, calendar, docs, slides, even forms
8:27
Like let's see, for example, do you want to work with somebody and you want people to get started by adding what are the actual form like sign up here
8:35
whatever you can add your custom form in here like just drag and drop and there we go so it's
8:41
actually really really great all the elements that you can add directly into google sites even you can
8:46
add charts but that's really depending on what you're actually looking for so lastly guys uh i can just
8:52
totally suggest to use a template to guide your service using a template so you don't have to be working
8:58
like truly truly a lot so with that being said guys i think we have not covered the basic
9:04
how we can get started here into your google sites so thank you so much watching the video
