Setting up an online portfolio

Setting up my own portfolio has been something that I've wanted to do for ages now, and this project is the perfect opportunity for it. I also plan to create a business card for myself, and any other things that I can use to advertise my art.
So I've tried out a few different websites for hosting portfolios so far in my search to find "the perfect one". I will be evaluating each one's pro's and con's, and in the end I'll choose the one that fits the best.

Unfortunately I'm somewhat limited because I have no knowledge of html coding. I do plan to learn as much as I can, but right now I don't feel that I have the time as this is my third year, and I only have about a month and a half left.

So far I have portfolios at:
DAportfolio
ImagineFX (which is more of a gallery, and currently only has 3, very old pieces of work on it.)
CarbonMade

Today I plan on trying Wix which is a free website builder which apparently does not require knowledge of coding. A good friend of mine has set her own up, which can be found here , and I'm quite impressed with it so far.
As I said above somewhere, I'll be updating each gallery/portfolio and evaluating what I think of them in individual posts.
