As requested, here is the follow-up to my first post on things to include on your actor website. Now we will discuss things to exclude.
Your Address - there is not a single scenario where a CD, Director, or Producer would need to see your home mailing address on your resume. They only need that if they hire you, at which point you will provide it via a W4 or 1099.
Personal info - This includes all sorts of things including your DOB and SS#
Production photos that don't feature you - having a bright beautiful photo of the whole cast doing the can-can at the curtain call is great for memories, but unless they can specifically identify you in the photo, it does nothing to help.
Pictures that don't sell your brand, type, signal, or whatever you want to call it. If it is not part of your cohesive marketing, then save it for the 'Gram
Confusing design - This also goes back to your brand and your UX. Make sure everything on your site is there in the interest of telling the story of what you are selling. And make sure the site is as easy to navigate as possible. It is sometimes easy to not realize that you are sending your site visitors on a "link loop."
Comic Sans font -Just...don't.
