You want to show your creatives with the other people, and you know a portfolio website provides the most effective vehicle to do so.
You’re not sure you have the time or the wherewithal to build one from scratch and you don’t know which website building tool out there would be a good choice, and which ones would not.
It is always hard to start something new. Even now, before writing this post I have spent almost half an hour thinking about where and how to begin. The same is about website building. You have a dream to create a website, what then? You need to shape the destiny of your future site, i.e. to choose its foundation. You make this crucial decision once and further, it will influence the entire website development process, as well as its maintenance and success among users. So what are the main factors making one website building platform better than another and how you can differentiate them?
Uploading samples of your work to sites such as Behance or Dribbble is a great way of getting noticed, so it’s worth spending a couple of minutes adding some polish to your images so they stand out and catch the attention of viewers.
