New Website - PortfolioBox

[PhilipHowe]

I was wondering if Anyone had used PortfolioBox. I have created a website in about 10 minutes (real 10 minues, not hours).

Just wondering if anyone had used it and whether they think it's any good.

This is the site I created : http://www.philiphowe.portfoliobox.me/

Hi Phil

I'd never heard of it until now. I like the layout you've chosen. Clean and unfussy. Also, a good selection of images.

Can you point your own domain name to it, or do you have to use the ".portfoliobox.me"?

As Paul. I'd never heard of it before. Very impressive images Phil.

If you buy the monthls £4.50 package, it includes a free domain name, but you can also point your own domain name at it through cname reference etc.
The £4.50 a month also includes 1000 images and access to a page containing your flickr account, meaning, if you use flickr, you can update that and your website automatically picks the new photos as it links back.

One problem I have is I have to upload a few times, few different formats, but this is different. I think I could even have a couple of flickr accounts, one for portraits, music, commercial. I could then setup my catalogs in Lightroom such that it autoimatically updates to that flickr user and subsequently, my page.

I'm liking the idea and playing around with the trial a bit longer.

Looks good on a mobile as well.
