Oh yeah, using these sites are always great as a quick portfolio, but theres nothing like having your own site.
Steven- too true! But for someone who wants to hit the ground running, it’s better to pick an established site with good traffic and reputation, and grow your own site in parallel.
What beautiful logos to use as personal branding.
I’m not sure the last comment I left was especially helpful, but regardless of the quality of comments, they are all worth 20 Captain Up points.

Amazing list of resources, Jacob!
I’d also recommend Pixpa for building an online portfolio and showing your creative skills online. I’ve recently started with their free trial and already finding it to be more intuitive than most other platforms that I’ve tried in the past. I’m yet to explore its full capabilities, but would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to show their skills online.
