Behance

I have some projects even from 2005, when it was released. In the beginning I remember it was a trendy site. Then it was acquired by Adobe Systems for $150 million in December 2012. Now They have about 10 million members. Every junior creative usually has one as it is free.

They have several sections as featured portfolios (hall of fame), livestreams, a job portal. I have seen many recruiters looking for freelancers at Behance. They also have an App, so it is quite easy, even if you are in UX, you can easily make a case study or change anything later quite fast. You can even make moodboards.

Adobe Portfolio

At Adobe Portfolio everything is about squares. Here a typical issue with portfolios or some UI frameworks, every site looks the same. As you see in their home page, I like it for photographers and graduates. It has nice integrations (Behance, Adobe Stock, Adobe Lightroom), so if you have works there and want to make a portfolio fast, this is your place.

It is not free, you need an Adobe license. Maybe if you already have one it is a good chance.
