PDF Portfolio vs. Free Website

I'll go ahead and tell you that Free Website wins this battle.

**Side note...When given the job of designing a website for my husband's business, I attempted to learn Dreamweaver.  I read reviews on several different books and decided to go with Adobe's book.  "It's an easy read!" or "My website was up and running after the first 3 chapters!"  Bologna, people.  That book must be Maggie proof because Dreamweaver is evil.

The other evil is PDF portfolios.  They take way too long and aren't the easiest thing to update.  Especially if you change your mind as much as I do regarding color, layout, etc.

I am here to tell you about 3 website design sites that are FREE.

Carbonmade
Great for designers to display their work in a straightforward, simple layout.  Best part, it's free.

Wix
Perfect for designers who want a Flash website with all the bells and whistles.  Best part, it's free.

Weebly
I am currently using Weebly.  They have about 70 layouts AND you can change the HTML and CSS code to set yourself apart fromt the basic templates.  Best part, it's free.
