What is Portfoliobox? Portfoliobox is a website builder and online portfolio platform that helps creative professionals design, publish, and manage portfolio websites without coding or technical expertise. It is purpose-built for photographers, designers, illustrators, architects, models, and freelancers who need a professional web presence to showcase their work and run their creative business. The platform operates entirely in the browser, offering a template-based editor that allows users to customise layouts, typography, colours, and page structures to create a unique site. Unlike general-purpose website builders, Portfoliobox combines portfolio presentation with integrated business management tools, enabling creatives to handle client work, sales, and scheduling from a single platform. Portfoliobox is available in three tiers: Free, Personal ($8.90/month), and Professional ($15.90/month), with a 31% discount for annual billing. All paid plans include a free custom domain name. Key features and capabilities include: • Portfolio and website building: Customizable templates, drag-and-drop editing, up to 1,000 pages and 1,000 images (Professional plan), mobile-responsive design, password-protected pages, and built-in blogging. • E-commerce and payments: Online store with up to 1,000 products, in-person payment support, 0% commission on sales, and appointment scheduling for service-based creatives. • Client management tools: Client proofing galleries, invoicing, proposals and quotes, and 5,000 MB file sharing, allowing photographers and designers to manage projects end-to-end without third-party tools. •  Branding and customisation: Personalised templates, custom branding, a free professional email address on the user's domain, and removal of Portfoliobox branding on paid plans. • Integrations and analytics: Adobe Lightroom plugin for direct image publishing, built-in website analytics and SEO tools to help users track performance and improve search visibility. Portfoliobox is used by creatives across more than 200 countries. Typical use cases include building photography portfolios, design agency websites, artist galleries, architecture project showcases, and model comp card sites. The platform also supports service-based businesses that need to accept bookings, send invoices, and sell physical or digital products alongside their portfolio. The platform requires no software installation and includes 24/7 customer support on paid plans. Users can start with a free account and upgrade as their needs grow. * * * Seller [Portfoliobox](https://www.g2.com/sellers/portfoliobox) Discussions [Portfoliobox Community](https://www.g2.com/products/portfoliobox/discuss) Languages Supported Danish, German, English, Finnish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Portfoliobox Team Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Portfoliobox. ### Free Free ### Personal Starting at $8.90 Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/portfoliobox/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Behance](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Behance") Behance 4.5/5(377) ](https://www.g2.com/products/behance/reviews) [ ![Squarespace](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Squarespace") Squarespace 4.4/5(1,136) ](https://www.g2.com/products/squarespace/reviews) [ ![Wix](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Wix") Wix 4.2/5(1,889) ](https://www.g2.com/products/wix/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/portfoliobox/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 30 real user reviews.

The ability to customise webpages that suits my current needs of a UX portfolio. albeit limited Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Portfoliobox? I have a lot of difficulties reordering sections on my web pages (My UX research case study requires several sections). This has led me to experience several mental breakdowns because 1) its very difficult to keep track of which sections are in which order and 2) All of my progress gets deleted when I test it out on the browser. Currently, they are reviewing on whether to include the ability to name sections. Honestly at this rate I want to give up UX entirely just to avoid the pain of making a portfolio. So if you just want a simple gallery, then ok. But don't waste your time on this website if you require more complex webpage layouts and several sections. Another suggestion is the ability to upload PDFs so I don't have to waste time trying to format everything on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Portfoliobox solving and how is that benefiting you? The fact that it offers you a free domain. I hate having to pay for a domain on top of web hosting services. I could have finished my portfolio by now if it wasn't for the severe difficulty of reordering sections of my webpage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support is always available and it quickly solved the problems I had. I have been using it for several years with satisfaction, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Graphic Designer Insurance Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/3/2019 "Easy-to-use Portfolio Site For Content Creators" 3/5 What do you like best about Portfoliobox? You don't have to know a thing about coding to use PortfolioBox, which makes it a great option for writers, illustrators, photographers or musicians who simply need a place to display their work without the coding headaches. There are a number of formatting options to fit your personal style, you can park a personal URL to your site, use their easy resume builder, and even sell your work online. Plus, the site is free if you have minimal graphics and don't care about the small corner badge. Eventually you are likely to graduate to a paid version, but it's a great way to try it out without spending. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Portfoliobox? You trade customization for the ease of creating a site. There are only a handful of pre-fab layouts, and if your content doesn't fit the given options, you're out of luck. I've found some of my designs don't fit in their walled garden of layouts and colors, so I've left them off. And while the storefront is a cool idea, the shopping cart options don't offer much customization for shipping, variation, etc. It's still a great idea for digital sales like songs and e-books, but if you sell a variety of shipping weights, you're better off using a dedicated store site like Shopify or BigCartel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Portfoliobox: PortfolioBox has a specific market: creatives who want a professional online presence, but don't want to learn coding. It offers multiple layouts and a WYSIWYG interface, but competitors like Wix and Google Sites may serve you better. I think the free version is a great option to try it out, but make sure PortfolioBox is your best bet before paying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Portfoliobox solving and how is that benefiting you? I've learned to code since starting my portfolio, but for a time PortfolioBox was a way to show who I am as an artist to employers and networks. It's definitely an option for a creative who wants a professional looking website without HTML/CSS/Javascript training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
