My entrepreneurial
idea is to create a website which would cater to students and professionals in design
fields (such as architects, architects, engineers, interior designers etc.) and
help them design their own portfolios online, using different templates that
can be customized. These design
professions do not have many resources for putting up online portfolios that
cater to their specific needs and wants.
The site would also allow users to connect with other users and
different companies for prospective job opportunities.
BigBlackBag.com
is probably the closest portfolio website that I found to my entrepreneurial
idea because it caters to photographers, designers and artists. It also allows the user to customize their
own website and gives them their own unique domain name. The difference between my idea and this
website is that my site as stated previously, allows users to connect with one
another and also with other professionals for job opportunities. Another difference is that my site is geared
towards both students and professionals and is specifically for design
professions.
CarbonMade.com
is for anyone who wants to create his or her own portfolio. It is an easy to use site that allows users
to upload all their content and customize parts of their online portfolio. When I looked at some of the sample
portfolios, the layouts looked very similar to one another. Also, each portfolio had “carbonmade” in the
domain name. My website would allow for
more customization and would allow users to pick their own domain name.
Overall I
found some websites that are similar to my entrepreneurial idea, but none were exactly
the same as mine. BigBlackBag.com and
CarbonMade.com both allow users to create their own custom portfolio websites, but
neither is just for design professions. Also,
neither site allows users to connect with one another. However, these sites did give me
some ideas of other things that I can include on my website.
