Wix vs. Squarespace vs. other for portfolio site

1

WordPress

Wordpress: It's free, flexible, and all yours on whatever hosting provider you choose - that's usually available as a one-click install within the hosting but you could install manually if you wanted. Since you're not paying for a brand that's connected to it's hosting services, your costs will ultimately be a lot cheaper. Wordpress is a nonprofit. The upside to that is you can take your website anywhere, download a copy of your entire site as a backup, change hosting providers, whatever. There's also a gigantic community, wordpress has been the absolute behemoth in the CMS space for many years, with little real competition from wix or squarespace. If you want to, you could install Serverpress on your computer and create any number of experimental test sites. Or just get cheap hosting and start playing around - I like InMotion Hosting for their cheap plans, free SSL, and excellent US-based customer support.
