online portfolio - help please!!

[Chermilla]

Now that I am wanting to get into the big wide world of work, as I finished university yesterday. I really want to build my own online portfolio.

I know the best software to do something like this is 'dream weaver' or something, but what if you don't have access to software like that?

Are there any good hosts out there that let you build a decent professional looking online portfolio for free or very cheaply?

I have been searching the net but can't find anything at all.

If you have yourself build a great portfolio online for free or know of any available free/cheap software I can download onto my MAC to build a website, so I can then just find a host. Could you show me a link to that site if it exsists?

Thankyou...

For a host I'd definately recommend TecHOST.com It's very easy to use and can't beat all you get for the price [without sacrificing a whole lot of the control features built in].

As far as software, notepad does the trick. Dreamweaver is very good but in reality all I use it for is placement of layers and iframes because of instant results so I don't have to be a pixel pusher all day to get it in the right place. First off Dreamweaver 4 to Dreamweaver MX is almost no difference except Macromedia's new interface after Adobe filed suit against them.

To obtain Dreamweaver the best way is to purchase the cheapest, oldest version of it through Ebay or wherever you can find it and then just upgrade. Same is true for almost all applications.

Notepad (or wordpad as my uni suggested) + http://www.htmlgoodies.com should do the trick. Good luck :)
