Krop – Creative Database
There’s a lot of simple ‘build yourself an online portfolio with minimum fuss’ sites out there, such as Behance and Carbonmade. But new kid on the block is Creative Database by the design jobs site Krop.
I must say, out of all the one’s I’ve tried, this is definitely the easiest to add your own content and the most pleasurable to view a finished profile. Sadly the free version only lets you upload 10 images, for unlimited uploads you’ve got to pay $10 a month…
I’ve made a quick (free) page for myself here, but you should check out a pro user with lots of images to see how the scroll bars and image previews really make it a pleasure to use.
Would be nice if they had some way of browsing/filtering all the current users to discover peoples work, maybe that’s coming once they’ve got a few people registered.

Not a fan – the template looks like a cheap Apple rip-off

Your work is awesome!
Thanks for the head up about the portfolio site, too – it’s a lot nicer than some of the others I use, quite intuitive as well. My effort is here: http://krop.com/zaraillustrates/
