Default Any suggestions for a free of cheap website

Well, the title says it all. I am using Shutterfly right now and it's been pretty good but I think maybe I've outgrown it? It's great for posting pics of events I've shot for sale and letting people order them. I have my "portfolio" there as well but It's a little confusing to navigate and adding seperate pages is difficult. Or maybe I'm just not that computer savy. It's also very busy with all the options and ads. I'd like to have a classy simple looking portfolio but don't have a lot of money to spend. Free would be great but inexpensive may be ok.
Here it is if you want to take a look....I know I need to update the front page. It doesn't scream photographer. Any suggestions?

Thanks, this is lots of good info. I know you get what you pay for but you have to start somewhere. Right now all my extra money is going into buying the right equipment.
