Weebly
Weebly is very easy to use to create professional content. After creating an account, the first step is to choose and customize a theme. Next, the user sets design features and adds pages. The work bar has many suggestions for operations to use in creating the content, so that the user can conveniently add pictures, text, titles, slideshows, embed codes, and many more options.
I did have a few technical difficulties with the site. For example, it would frequently make changes to the text on a page as I was clicking "Publish" So that I would need to go in and change things again, but only after it had taken a while to publish.
A few helpful additions would be a more convenient way of adding links than multiple copy and paste sequences, and a save button. It took me several takes to figure out how to create a link the first several times that I needed to insert one. I also had issues with the site not saving content before it was published. I once entered a whole page of text which was promptly deleted the moment my laptop lost WiFi connection.
Aside from those two minor issues, my experience with Weebly has been resoundingly positive overall.
Not only is Weebly useful for a portfolio of my experiences, but it is also a way that I could communicate with students in my future classroom. I put it under component 4D as teachers could communicate with one another after reviewing others' portfolios or general sites. Weebly is a powerful tool for communication with the public, colleagues, students and their families, and administration.
