I remember when I first got started in photography, and I knew my photos were ok but not brilliant.
But I also knew my design and web skills were above par, so I could do a half decent job of presenting my work to look its best. I've gotten better at photography over the years, but still have to say that curating and presenting are actually more important than capturing.
Style matters.
Also should point out that I'm no genius when it comes to websites. My biggest talent is perseverance.
I keep at it. I keep polishing the CSS. I keep tinkering and learning. I put the hours in. It can take days to achieve any real progress, but sometimes it all just comes together and I love reaching that distant shore and feeling like I've created something of substance.

Gathering your photos onto a website and experimenting with the layout and experience is really worthwhile as a photographer.
Social media is less so. The way your work appears on someone else's app is totally out of your control. Not to mention the algorithms in play. The constraints are artificial, and unrewarding.
Having your own website is an excellent way to express yourself, and it's unimpeded by pathological billionaires.
@ewen My website absolutely needs a refresh. Maybe webrings will make a comeback, like an old-fashioned salon.
I'm imagining a bunch of old fellows sitting around at a cafe, drinking black coffee, smoking cigars, and debating CSS:)
