Good Portfolio Site?

[ctcook]

I'm currently using WIX right now to display my online portfolio and some basic information about me. I'm not happy with it, but it's free. I really don't like that everything is based in flash and can make load times long.

What other free (or really cheap) services are out there for displaying your online portfolio?

Build one.

I could build it, but then I would need to pay someone to host it. What I'm looking for is a free (or cheap) service that is user friendly and will allow me to display a portfolio online.

Display only, or display and sales?

FWIW, "really cheap" isn't usually the best way to go.

The old saying goes: "The choices are Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick any two"

OMG! What a great, knowledgeable, and inspiring conclusion you had for the OP's request! He simply asked if anyone knew of a free (or cheap) site he could use but you, YOU had the greatest solution of all time! "Build one"...fantastic advise! I was going to go car shopping today but "build one" sounds like a such an awesome solution!

"Build one"...real nice...

For now, display only. Eventually I'll be looking for display and sales, but I'm still ramping up to that.

When I first started, I used PBASE.com. I still use it for some things. There are levels from Free to expensive.

But "if you build it, they will come."

Jim B. - $30/month for hosting and sales isn't that pricy, but would I still need to pay someone to build the site that gets hosted or does usahosting provide that as part of the fee?

Jim P. Looks like pbase only gives you a 30 day trial, maybe that's new and your account was grandfathered in.

Thank you for spending the time to actually provide a solution to my problem.
