Finally bit the bullet and paid for a proper portfolio site builder

I spent about $180 for a year on a Squarespace plan last month after using a free template for ages. My old site was slow and looked kind of janky on phones. The new one is SO much cleaner and I just got my first email from it today from a potential client who said it was easy to look through my work. That fee felt like a lot for me, but seeing that email made it feel worth it. Has anyone else had a good experience after switching from a free setup to a paid one? What did you pick?

Proper portfolio site builder" is a stretch. You just paid a middleman. That email could have come through a free WordPress setup with a decent theme. The money is for convenience, not quality.

Yeah but that convenience is the whole point. Time messing with WordPress is time not making stuff to put on the site.
