The math that makes this a no-brainer
SitesPlaced costs $7.99/month. That's $0.26/day.
Your average freelance project: $500–$5,000+
If your portfolio generates just one extra client per year, you've earned a 6x–60x return on a $79.90 investment.
Compare that to:
- Hiring a developer: $2,000–$10,000 (one-time, plus $50–100/month hosting)
- Squarespace: $192/year with generic templates
- Doing nothing: $0 cost, $0 results, infinite lost revenue
