Carbonmade is a online site where designers can show their work in a ready made online portfolio. The site is easy to get around and perfect for designers who don't care to manage their own domain and website. A free account will provide you with 5 projects to show and a total of 35 images. Their pro plan is $12 per month, gets you 50 projects, 500 hi-res image uploads and 12 videos.
The site is stupid easy to manage and you can tag your projects so they show up in different design categories like graphic design, 3D modeling, copywriting, etc. If you're trying to get freelance work, you can click a setting to show that. There's also the capability to add your Google Analytics account number to your portfolio to monitor web traffic to your site.
The more projects you have, the higher your portfolio appears in the various design category pages. Carbonmade is not ad supported so the non cluttered space is nice. Of course, you may also want to consider other design communities like DeviantArt, Creattica and Behance, or better yet, try them all for the exposure.
