Portfolio site....help?

Okay so, I am just breaking into the world of web development. So far I have created two websites. One including my portfolio site. My question is "How can I showcase these works? Do I use screenshots? Or simply links?"

Shakillia Bobo if you cannot afford to have your own website look into https://www.behance.net/ or https://dribbble.com/ for online portfolio hosting.

Those are the two I hear about.

Screenshots that are links on click seems to be the best of both worlds. :)

Thank you for the advice. But I also am facing another dilemma. I don't really have the money to buy a domain and a host right now. Im searching for a job and I've made all these trial websites. If I cannot have any links to attach to my screenshots, whats the best option for me?

adding screenshots of your work attracts user and also to promote your skills, much better if your work have links at the same time.

I agree with Michael - I think it'd look way more appealing if you had screenshots that were also links.
