Wix.com?

Does anyone use Wix.com to host their photos? I actually discovered this site through these forums and just made my free site. Anyone have any experience with one of these? If so, could you post the link here so I could check them out and just see what people do with theirs?

Thanks! And please let me know what you think of mine so far!

ETA: I just recently discovered my passion for photography, so I picked myself up a Canon T3.... so some of the photos were taken with that and some were actually taken with my iPhone then edited with some software. I definitely want to learn as much as I can from you all here, so any feedback and/or suggestions would be MUCH appreciated.

Also, I don't really know what kind of photography you would call what I'm into... it's guns, Law Enforcement, Military, and Tactical based shooting oriented as well as portraits and sport action shots. What would you call it to describe it to people without having to list everything like I just did?

Thanks again!!

Personally, I think anyone who wants to use a website professionally should reserve a proper domain name. It looks tacky and cheap to me to see a link like this. It's fine if all you want to do with a website is to host your photographs so you can link to them elsewhere.

But it looks more professional to most people if they went to a place such as harperphotography.com.

I'm not a big fan of wix. But being a web designer longer than I've been a photographer, maybe my opinion is a little bias.

I totally understand but I don't want to pay the money to reserve the domain... right now at least. I'm just starting off.
