I chose to look at Weebly because it is a free way for someone to make a website for their portfolio. they give you lots of options to pick from when creating your website. once you create a website off off Weebly people can start viewing your work, and they can start purchasing designs or prints that you add to your website. I think it very cool that you could potentially make money off of a website your created for free. I really like that Weebly gives you the option to create a website for free because some people don’t have the money to pay a monthly subscription to have there own website. But with Weebly you can start getting your name out their for free.

Overall, despite the price, Cargo is a great site for graphic designers to showcase their work. Below is an example of an artist utilizing their site.
