Carbonmade is one place I show off my work. It's free, allows up to 5 categories, and 35 total images. A paid account is also available that offers more space and features.
I'm happy with free! The layout is beautiful and clean. The first thing viewers see (when you give your "you.carbonmade.com" address) is photo-icons of your categories. When they click a category (a "project"), they'll see whatever images you uploaded, in a simple gallery viewer, with or without thumbnails at the bottom.
The free account also includes an About page, where I tell how to reach me, hire me, and what my artistic interests are. I get to have fun there, because I'm only sharing my best work and not trying to sell it. Some buyers just need to see a portfolio, and I agree it's a good idea to provide one. Sites like Fine Art America make your artwork look great and clickable, but don't allow a traditional portfolio viewer.
While it's a pain to upload to both, the combination of these two serves my main purposes to show and sell my work, and provide methods to contact me.
And on that note...
