I use Adobe portfolio.
Templates were easy enough to use. And it's usually free with some adobe product subscriptions.

Squarespace. Although I hear the new Adobe templates are pretty nice.

I use a Wordpress template, but also have it on Behance as well.

I’ve found squarespace to be great and pretty intuitive

readymag, but that’s more artsy. Squarespace is a great solid one

Carbonmade has a bunch of really easy straightforward templates, i just use them and host on my mediatemple server though godaddy or any other would be just as good to host the domain

Hi friends. Freelance Senior CW (7-8 years) here, currently negotiating a 2 month freelance contract at mcgarrybowen. They want my hourly rate which is always tricky in my opinion.

Additional Posts in Creative Directors

How do you navigate a working relationship where someone in a different department but at the same director level as you consistently assumes seniority over you? The thing is they're great and can be an ally, but they're frequently shutting down the team's work and having a negative impact on the team's morale and output.

Since becoming a CD, I feel like my time is purely administrative and managerial work. I don’t have any creative projects and only give feedback to my ADs/designers.

Do creative directors have to manage people?
I don’t like managing people, especially juniors who are still figuring out their career paths. But at my company, in order to be considered a leader, you have to manage people. I see myself as a leader, contributing ideas and strategy… I just don’t want to deal with developing performance goals and compensation. Is this the case everywhere? Can I be a creative leader without managing?
