I have used Adobe Portfolio to host and design my website. As I pay for the Adobe Creative Suite the hosting is free. Although the design is limited on the site it does still offer presets that can be customised to an extent. This is the best cost effective way to display my site whilst staying professional. You would not know where the site is hosted and does still look unique in many aspects. Currently I only have 6 briefs on display but do plan to have more very soon from work I have created over this year. The work displayed should be high quality containing no mockups unless purchased to give a more professional look to the portfolio. I have booked out photography studios to photograph my work at a higher standard. The domain name is paid for for two years and from this I have added on a custom email address at a very reasonable cost.
Alec our tutor was very helpful for this task. I planned on creating a website after I had finished at university but really this was just delaying possible time I could be promoting my site to potential employers. Giving us the task to create a website in a week obviously not full finished but working at least was brilliant to make sure we all had this asset for the year.
I now own the domain www.joshstorey.com along with the email address hello@joshstorey.com
