Review – Carbonmade.com – The Online Portfolio For The Masses

The traditional photo album portfolio is slowly dissipating, Online portfolios are a convenient way to keep your work up to date. It is also more convenient for the person viewing the portfolio, when you hand someone a business card with the web address to your portfolio, it gives them the option to check out your portfolio at there leisure, when they have the time to thoroughly go threw it. I’m not saying that the old fashion printed portfolio is a bad thing, in fact some times its better to get a client in-front of you while there going through your work (that way you can use your charm to possibly land a job).

But I wanted to talk to you about an online portfolio service that is FREE, and I am still using to this day.

CarbonMade.com is a simple to use online portfolio service. There simple design is modern and stylish, but simple enough to not take away from your work. Just sign up for your free account that lets you have a total of 5 projects (subjects or categories) and a total of 35 images. The paid for version costs $12 a month and you get 500 images & 10 videos, domain binding plus video and flash projects. I am currently using the free version, being only able to have 35 images keeps it short but sweet, and I have to be very picky about the images I show.

CarbonMade.com is a great way to get your work out there, and its not only for photographers, there are many web designers, illustrators, fine artists and graphic designers using carbonmade.com as well.

You can check out my personal portfolio as-well as many others at www.skotniczny.carbonmade.com
