Seems like a good solution for people, like me, that can't code.
Anyone are already with them?
What do you think?
Would you suscribe?The only thing that bothers me is the fact that our images are stored on their servers... I would feel more secure if we could store our files on our own server.

These folks are getting right down to business, $45 or GTFO. They don't show you what you're paying for. No samples, no showcase.
"And don't worry – if you cancel within the first 30 days, you'll get a full refund, we promise." –how reassuring.
You're better off trying out these first, actually people use both at the same time:

"once upon a time, there was a boy.
he called himself micah, and he was exactly twenty-two years old on his 22nd birthday. he lived all over the place‚ – sometimes new york, one time in boston, and sometimes in sunny california. he liked to think of moving around like an adventure."

Interesting that some of you would prefer to host your own images but then just present them through a portfolio system like this - why is that? Am in the process of making my own portfolio system so keen to hear why you'd like that feature.
- benfal990
its because I can't code...
- benfal990
so, i would like to find a good system to update a portfolio easily without working with Dreamweaver and having 200 HTML pages

I just noticed we have a choice of template in our Krop portfolio!

Cargo looks pretty good. From the front side of things. It's template-ish, but still clean and sophisticated. Krop's portfoio just seems . . . off.
The user interface is clunky, unintuitive and just mildly annoying. I do not prefer the thumbnail cropping feature and it's naming features are inefficient and batch upload unpredictable.
If you have a single portfolio piece, you dedicate a whole row to that particular piece on the viewers side of things, which looks unprofessional and unfinished. The themes are plain, boring and just not very classy.
In addition to that, their service is not really friendly for web designers looking to display websites that they've worked on. I prefer having a nice big picture that users can scroll through, not reducing my screenshot to a tiny representation of what it once was, and then forcing me to crop and chop the rest of my page elements creating a disfunction amongst pieces.
Krop's site is really nice, and the service that they offer is really top notch, however their portfolio product needs some serious reinventing.
