I use WordPress with the Divi theme, which is expensive, but I've used it for multiple websites so it's paid off. My site is hosted through Siteground.

Although, to be fair, I've considered scraping it and trying to build it on another platform like Wix or SquareSpace. Haven't quite reached that point, though.

Adobe portfolio is the most cost effective. It’s free with your creative cloud subscription

Squarespace

Agree, squarespece. It gives you enough flexibility to make it your own but enough structure that it won't break.

You need a base understanding of CSS and HTML to use it to its full potential, but no actual writing of code was needed

I still really like Semplice. But of a learning curve but well worth it.

Semplice is like a house of cards. If you even look sideways at those content blocks the whole thing falls apart.

Wordpress, at the moment I’ve just got a nice looking theme that’s fairly simple to use but looking to switch to semplice however upon the installing semplice I can see I’ve got to learn a whole new thing…

Semplice is not very intuitive in my experience. The results look great but it is easy to mess up. Maybe v5 is better, I’m using v4.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

I am fed up with it and am starting to apply elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll be able to get the same total comp though. More in comments..

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
