Hi - Other cheap and simple solutions are portfolio only sites like behance.net. Not very customizable, but free, and clean interface, easy to post, and a fun way to check out inspiring art from others. Behance prosite (prosite.com) gives you a little more customization and lets you use your url. I think it's around $10/month, and alternatively, it's included in an Adobe CS Cloud membership. This is what I use. It's still not very customizable, but I love the simplicity and not having to worry about whether the code is updated for all the current gadgets. (despite the simplicity, I update my website once a year at most) Other similar options: carbonmade.com, krop.com. They're all dedicated portfolio sites. $6-8/mo. If you google those names with 'alternatives' you can probably find similar sites, some which are probably free. Good luck! Nicolle p.s. I started an email to this effect, but then deleted it. Doesn't look like it sent, but please forgive me if this is duplicated info. Nicolle R.
