Does it really make a difference if my portfolio website have a domain or can I just leave it like so: firstnamelastname.wixsite.com/design ?

I’m just starting out, just graduated, and currently looking for work so I feel like it’s not worth it to get a custom domain?

I don’t think it matters. The content is more important than the domain ;)

Thank you!

GoDaddyoffers a domain for the first year for around $3 and $12 the following year and you can get multiple years for cheaper. Additionally, it does make it look like you took the extra step to figure out how to do it! And some people do not... So, does it matter? Maybe not, but if the job is between you and the person with a url I am recommending the person with the url to my owner!

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
