How to make make a free website to host your photo portfolio

When I started taking pictures it was a hobby and I liked to share my adventures with friends and family. later on, with Google local guides program the journey took another level where now we can help worldwide travellers make informed decisions, But for those like me who want to take this to another level by becoming professional photographers there are basic tools to start with and a website is at the top of the list. Some of the Trusted photographers on the hire list use their social networks profile in the place of a website, That it because websites can be expensive or take ages to complete if you have the right skill set.  This is where the new Google sites come in.

Google sites offer a free solution to this problem, you can design your website in 5 minutes, with zero coding skills. You heard it right, absolutely no programming skills are needed. it is a drag and drop method and you get your own link which you can share with your customers, embed Streetview tours and showcase 360 photos. Furthermore, you can even use your own domain name. I created mine and I'm very satisfied with the functionalities at zero cost.

 

Just go to this website
