Hey Ann welcome to Asterisk!! So cool to have you here. I hope to one day travel to europe and other places. What made you want to start Gallop Hill?

Also, the calibration tab can effect the skin tone too but its more complicated but can have some really cool effects. I've uploaded one of my photos with the calibration settings. in this example i dont mess with my HSL i used the calibration for this look

@Zach Rasmussen mmmm not in lightroom you send it to photoshop but idk if id recommend that because it could look a tad unnatural. you can however apply the preset and go into the masking tool and select subject or select person and make edits there like select person -> Adjust Orange Hue

funny enough i learned web development because i hated template sites and i wanted my website to feel premium and a portfolio itself. I used webflow because its total control but it has a steep learning curve. Framer is another one i would highly recommend. For portfolio sites the best thing to remember is that theyre hiring you for your skill and what outcome you will give them Homepage Your home page should basically outline what your service is and what you can do for other people and who you are Depending on what services you’re offering my recommendation is have a demo reel or video sales letter. And i would put your best 3 or 5 best projects and have a button like “see more” that links to your portfolio page 3-5 testimonials/companies that have hired you Portfolio And then display your projects in a bento/grid that link to a page about the project and for each project i like to write them as case studies and show behind the scenes images and talk about the outcome of the project and maybe some technical details that you want to share. But its important to talk about the projects outcome. Like for me i developed a webapp for a church that increased theyre inperson engagement by 40% and 200% increased online engagement. People like knowing numbers. Id be happy to hop on a call with you at some point and breakdown a website layout structure for you completely for free

Its proof in the pudding really i personally don’t like putting hollow guarantees on my websites. Your definitely on the right track if you have any more questions about it let me know!

I agree with what Jordan was saying here. I also think too your style is pretty well tuned I think just that consistency and more story content will do very well. I'm sure ur story will resonate a lot with people and slowly build up that traction you're looking for :)
