free web portfolio service?

[Chris Turitzin]

Terra is setting up her online portfolio. She just used Carbonmade, but it is pretty lacking in 'free' features. Have any of you used a good free service to make an online portfolio?

Not free, but I'm a big fan of Virb. $10/month but that covers hosting.

There's also CargoCollective (invite only? they might have finally opened up).

I would check out Cargo Collective, but you need an invite to use it (find someone who has an invite...)

Also, Wordpress is pretty awesome. If you go to their "paid themes" section there is a list of hundreds of theme providers, and a couple theme providers on there create quality themes. It's usually a $70 up front fee for the theme, but then all you have to pay is hosting (~$5/month) for whatever host you choose.

Also, has anyone tried SquareSpace?

I just set up flavors.me/aronh - that is also a cool way to set up a portfolio. Use Tumblr, Posterous, Flickr etc. as your source and then connect it to flavors.me

Tumblr + a portfolio theme is fine and there are a few out there that are free... it really depends on how much time you want to spend on it.

here was my quick one.

I think wordpress might be the most "legit" way to go though. buy a domain, do a wordpress setup, pick a nice grid based classy theme (so that its most about highlighting your work)

For quick and easy, there's coroflot: http://www.coroflot.com/public/login_createport.asp

I started using it, then decided to just use Flickr w/ private sets.

Ooh! One more to add to the list: Krop Portfolio Builder

Really beautiful. 10 images free! Limited styling. But nice and clean.
