I’m not very good with designing websites, nor doing anything with HTML code. I’m wondering if there is potential of creating my portfolio completely inside Unity, that way it will be free, portable and easy to upload.
Please can you tell me what the negatives are. Does it allow hyper-links to be made inside the web compatible build? I’m just curious as well due to the fact that I haven’t stumbled upon anyone who suggests this. Thanks.
It is certainly possible, and people have done it. But if you are talking about primarily an image gallery/portfolio, it is really overkill. If you are showcasing models/games/interaction or skills of that nature, it could make more sense.
Downsides:
- limited access, people would need the webplayer installed to use it.
- site indexing, search engines wouldn’t see inside it or link into it. (this can be done, but requires deeper skill and knowledge, not automatic)
- slower
- way more complicated to build and update
- not mobile/device friendly
I would highly recommend against it (unless is an innovative approach to showing off Unity skills). HTML is faster and cleaner, and even if you can’t build a site, there are sites that host portfolios, and of course wordpress portfolio themes.
Cheers.
Thanks for the quick response
