I was originally going to build my portfolio from scratch using Adobe Muse, and in fact some three years ago or so, I had a template front page figured out. But then Muse left beta and became a paid app, so that left me hanging in the wind.
I then started working with a jQuery template, but it really was just an image template which therefore required hard coding for the overall layout of the site.
At that point I was going to build it in Google Web Designer, but then I realized that I didn't have the time to build it from scratch.
So I decided I might grab one of those free templates, and I found a really good one that was minimalist and all. But then after fudging around with it, I realized that it would still take quite a lot of time, first to read through the documentation, then adjusting all of the parameters by hand.
So finally, I decided to go to Wix. Of course, I started the project, and then let it sit for a couple of months. But last week I finally got off my bum and worked at it, and in four days I've finally completed it.
Now granted, it's currently hosted at Wix and has ads for Wix, because I'm not going to pay $5 / month at this point to host with my domain name that I own. Eventually that'll change, I'm sure, but for now, it's good enough.
