Portfoliobox: How it made my life easy!

I've been photographing for more than a decade. What started out as a hobby gradually started taking another form, and before I could realize, I had begun freelancing photography. Throughout my journey as a photographer, I kept most of my work to myself and never really posted it online on a website. That was largely because designing a website highly intimidated me, and I did not want to outsource this task to anyone as I felt nobody could perfectly understand my taste and my idea of how a website should look like.

Then came a high point in my career, where it was absolutely imperative for me to come up with a proper website. After approaching several web-design firms and platforms, I realized that I might have to sit with a web-designer for days before I get what I want from my website. Just at that point, I stumbled upon portfoliobox.com, and it wasn't the same anymore. I got precisely what I wanted; I had 100% control over the creative and navigational aspects of my website.

Portfoliobox has been instrumental in my growth as a freelancer; and has provided me with an excellent platform to showcase my work!

I have been particularly impressed by the following:
  • Crisp and minimal layouts: The layouts don't overpower or supersede the content, and subtlely places it to the viewer. The layouts are such that the website looks pretty clean, devoid of any clutter, whatsoever.
  • Excellent customer support: Over the last couple of years, I have never had to wait for more than an hour to hear from portfoliobox's excellent and prompt customer support. They have walked an extra mile to ensure that my queries are dealt with; they have also been instrumental in incorporating customizations in my website.
  • Easy UI: I've been intimidated by long and complicated HTML codes all my life, portfoliobox's UI couldn't make it any easier for a person like me. It's almost a cake walk to design a beautiful looking website all by oneself!
In addition to the above mentioned points, it also has a great mobile interface; and opens up quite fast on a mobile.

I would strongly recommend portfoliobox's services to anyone looking for a effective, reliable and cheap way to showcase their work, or conduct their business.
