What templates/websites is everyone using for their portfolios? I have spent hours looking into this and I’m still struggling. Played around a bit with Squarespace, but not finding a template that lets me upload videos or reels in the way I would like to. Wordpress seems a bit more complicated. Others don’t let you use your own domain name which I definitely want to do. Anyone have luck with sites for this, someone who helped you do it and takes on side jobs like this, or templates?

I currently use wix. I struggled with Squarespace. Tbh I struggled with wix too. But a more portfolio savvy friend helped me. I got it as far as I could without having a menty b and then she went in and made it better for me. The last time I updated my site she walked me through the process. Now I can update my site like a big girl, lol. I know this isn’t helpful, but you’re not alone. 💜

I use Squarespace and post videos using Vimeo links. It’s quite easy.

It does appear within the SquareSpace template but it is linked to Vimeo. You never leave Squarespace.

I’ve been using a site called Jimdo and really like it. It was on a shortlist recommendation by NYTimes tech. Good templates or easy to build from scratch and design on your own.

I am booked at an agency that is filled with toxic people and I got offered a freelance job at a really great agency.
