You *could* create an account on something like Behance, but people will take you more seriously if you have a personal website like "YourName.com".

* These use Javascript to ingest file \(e.g. Markdown\) and transform them into static HTML files, allowing you to use page components \(e.g. navbar\) and variables and all kinds of cool stuff. Read more on the [web design page](/web-design.md).
