So, in the last post I talked about having a portfolio and how you should host it on your own domain. Well, this post I am going to talk about what you should do for your portfolio and also a free temporary solution for an online portfolio.
First let me talk on the free solutions before we make any decisions to spend money. A really simple website that allows you to host portfolio content is CarbonMade. This is probably one of the best temporary portfolio websites that I have used, due to the fact that portfolios can not be found without knowing the URL. So this means that there is no competition if you were to send this to anyone, it would only show your work and no one else. There are a couple of downsides though, CarbonMade only allows you to post 5 portfolio pieces on the free account, 35 images and the designs are limited, which for some people may be the best solution. It's all up to you, and what you want for the future.
Now lets move on to what you can do for a personal portfolio that will look best for employers!
So in the last post I talked about having a URL which is best if your name.com. Well, once you have decided on a URL you have to get a website frame, there are many to choose from and many of them are free to use! A very common frame is Wordpress, it has become very popular in the last few years with it's normally sleek design, fast load times, multiple plugins and iOS support makes it idea for almost any website.
I will cover more in-depth on what should actually be in your portfolio in the next post!
