Hey guys im wanting to set up my own portfolio site so i can show off my graphics/irl other stuff and things like that. Anyone know of a good place to get free templates? Or anyone want to suggest me a template? Also is it hard to put in the information and what not? I set up a forum before and it seems easy enough but i still get kinda lost some times when using file zilla.

Thanks

If you want to show off your skills, build it from scratch.

Any wysiwyg html editor will help you along. Heck, you can make websites with Word if you want.

The point is for you to poke around with various editing tools to familiarize yourself with how webpages are structured- What html looks like and what it does. Are you on windows?

I've used templates in the past, I find one with a structure that I like then fill it with my own graphics and contents, I normally cut side colums and the like out as well.
Are you after HTML templates or wordpress templates?

Places like http://www.templateyes.com/html-templates.htm and http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/ can be used to get free HTML templates.


I came across this while I was looking as well. I like it. For a design site you want some a bit different, something that'll stand out and show your work off.

If you are learning, maybe you could post what you learn as you go along Wink
Some of us round here aren't too bad with web languages and could give you a hand.
