    I used ecwid.com to build my current online store. I it is very simple and easy to use.

    I have also used wix.com to build a portfolio when I was in university.

    If you are an artist I think not only a website but an Instagram account would be quite useful (if you dont have one yet)

      Ecwid is also free up to so many items. I only sell one product in 4 sizes so it’s free for me.

        That’s true. It’s up to 5 items plus the item’s size which you can edit however you want.

    Social media is probably a better option. It’s free to set up and a lot easier to manage than a website

      Use social media and then the free service LinkTree for a centralized place to keep all of your accounts together and accessible to clients. I have this set up for multiple endeavours and it is a great free system for me!

    My dude, a domain can be purchased for as low as like $2 per year if you don’t care about the extension.

    Most places where you buy the domain also will sell hosting for like $5/mo. And most of these come with free website builders. I think Google even has a service for this now.

    If this is all too confusing, post it on fiver and some student can do this for you very cheap.

    If your a solo painter then Pinterest would be a better option for keeping your portfolio…

    Weebly or Wordpress. Weebly has some beautiful templates that are easy to use. I’ve built many over the years for free.
