SMALLCAPS
PORTFOLIOFREE
Portfolio website
There is a hard fact about a portfolio: people give it about forty seconds, and what they are looking at is the work, not your website.
So the first decision is how many. Six, done properly, beats twenty stacked up. Each one needs three things: an image big enough to read, one line on what it solved, and what you did on it. Delete anything like "the client was delighted" — it says nothing.
The three Skills below take entirely different routes. SMALLCAPS is monochrome and small-set, with all the effort in how it responds to the pointer, which suits designers and front-end people. CATHODE DESK puts the whole portfolio inside a 3D 1986 CRT computer, which is memorable but not right for every field. LUMA FIELD is a photographer’s long page where the images fill the screen. All three have a live demo you can open first.
One last thing: the way to contact you has to be findable in three seconds and it has to be clickable. However good the work is, a portfolio nobody can act on has not done its job.

Describe the sector, the problem and the outcome without naming the client and without screenshots. The Skills here all tell the AI not to invent client names or testimonials, so it will not fill the gap for you.
The result is an ordinary static site, so any host will do, including the free static hosts. Buy your own domain: it is easier to remember than a platform subdomain and far easier to move.
