How to Create a HTML Portfolio
Photographers and artists of all types rely on digital portfolios to display their work on the Internet. Digital portfolios are created using HTML and allow artists who in many instances don't have a physical studio a platform for sharing their work. While all of the digital portfolios are created using HTML and other coding languages, a thorough understanding of how to program is not required to create a portfolio. Instead, if you are are unfamiliar with HTML, you can use templates or subscription portfolio websites to create a professional-looking HTML portfolio.

Use any of a large number of different subscription portfolio sites to create an HTML portfolio. The portfolio-creation sites allow you to choose from already-existing portfolio layouts if you have a limited grasp of website design. After selecting a layout, upload your art or images and then customize the look of the text and colors on the website. Most portfolio hosting services offer a limited free service in addition to a subscription service that is completely customizable.

Design and build a custom portfolio using an HTML editor and image editing software. While this is the best way to create a website that specifically meets the portfolio requirements, this method requires an understanding of web design and image editing. Further, creating an HTML portfolio from scratch requires that you pay for and maintain a website to host the portfolio.
