How did you make your photography/ cinematography website?

Okay, so right now I'm in the process of starting up my photography business and I need a real website so people take me seriously. I have a flickr page with my pictures, but that's just a gallery (I can link it if anyone wants to see my work).

My question to you is what website did you use, how much did it cost etc. I'd be awesome to get some help with my startup.

Thanks in advance.

I've tried a lot of them but have stuck it out with SquareSpace! I've ended up buying 2 urls from them and the second only cost 10 dollars. Easy to set up and if you're wise with the internet you can set up your own custom coding.

Smugmug is also good.

I use bluehost for hosting and pay a little over $100 a year I think, and then yes the price of the domain. But Koken itself is free

Adobe Muse. Was kind of a bitch learning how to use it, but the hosting is included in my Adobe CC payment, so all I pay is the $12 a year for the domain reg.

Link is in my sig I think?
