Journo Portfolio

"I am a writing student, and I need a portfolio. I've been trying to purchase an annual Pro plan with an academic discount. The Journo Portfolio website says to email support from your school email to prove you're a student, and they will reply with a discount code. I have emailed three times. I've left comments on social media posts, and I've tried messaging them on the social media profiles I could find that supported messaging. I also tried to use the chat feature on their website. It has been three hours since I did that, and there has still been no response. I am so disappointed. Shame on you Journo Portfolio. Do better for the people that are trying to give you their money? If you're this unresponsive, why should we house our portfolios with you?!"

"It's one of the best sites for freelancers (especially writers) to build their portfolio sites."

"I am updating this request again after seemingly being ghosted again for past 3 months. No explanation of supposed "violation" given, simply ignored and page wiped. Can you please explain *the violation and why no attempt/communication for recourse was given? UPDATED: Please, see anonymize transcript below: Ignored consistently when I requested payment freeze (due to unexpected hardship due to near-fatal family emergency). Ignored consistently again when I got back on my feet a few months later. Got an immediate reply when I asked about new business from an alternative email address. I lost weeks of work including irreplaceable content. Recommend users back everything up. I'd happily have stayed for many more years had they taken the short amount of time required to pause my account.

I received no warning emails nor replies to any of my several requests for compassionate consideration. Six months ago, I requested for the annual pro payment to be placed on hold due to financial hardship until I could pay, which is now. This was after paying for the platform for several years. I'm happy to cover the lapsed six month period, if necessary.

My account was suspended after I had an issue with my payment. I was sent a possible copyright infringement email soon after, for which I've sought clarification. I can't log in and get the attached error messages. It also appears some content linked to this site is still appearing via Google search. I'd like to resolve these issues. Any support / solutions you can offer would be greatly appreciated please.

"Total spamming AI site that cuts you after 5 whole consecutive days of "non response" as people get busy. Then spams your email with "trial period over, please sign up to select a subscription" nonsense when I was never signed up to start with. Such a joke Reached out to the "chat bot" but have yet to receive any valid "response" after 3 days now. Total joke."

"I've used Journo Portfolio as a website for my writing and editing services for years now. After trying many different website builders in the past, Journo Portfolio is by far the best and easiest to use in my opinion. Any time I've had a question or wanted to change something I couldn't see how to do or couldn't do myself, Josh has been incredible at helping solve it and always answers queries in record time."

"As a freelance writer, I have been using Journo Portfolio to showcase my work for some time now, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. What I love most about this platform is how easy it is to use. Even for someone like me who isn't very tech-savvy, it was a breeze to set up my portfolio and start showcasing my work. But that's not all. The platform also offers some beautiful themes that are both professional-looking and customizable, allowing me to make my portfolio look just the way I want it to. And the best part? No-lag experience. The platform is super-fast and easy to navigate, making it effortless to showcase my work to potential clients. What makes Journo Portfolio stand out from other portfolio websites is its attention to detail. They have designed the platform to cater to the needs of freelance writers, making it easy to upload samples of my work and resume, embed videos or audio files, and even connect my social media accounts. Overall, I highly recommend Journo Portfolio to any freelance writer looking for a simple, easy-to-use, and professional platform to showcase their work. The platform is everything a writer could need to get their work noticed and land more clients."

"I discovered journo portfolio after flipping through a couple of sites. Most sites where either to pricey or too hard to work on. As an event planner my ability to showcase or rather compile an accessible portfolio really translates into bookings an sales. With journo portfolio I found that I could have an online portfolio up in a day. The templates provided make editing and re-creating rather easy. I also liked how much I can personalize each page with embedded links. The upload speed is rather remarkabl,for me is the best as it means I can have an event today and have the work uploaded the very same day. The image quality after upload is also very crisp and clear which I had a problem with on another site I attempted to use. Another interesting feature I loved is the feedback or insight dashboard. It allows you to see how many visitors you've had, when and where in the world they are. This means I can actually monitor of my portfolio is being viewed by then right people. It also does show if they visited from a mobile device or desktop computer. It also has other nice features like hyperlinked buttons to send customers straight to your social pages such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. I started building my site on the laptop. I tried uploading from my cellphone and guess what!!! Worked Even faster. Most sites require that you edit them from a PC as most features are unavailable from the mobile version. Overall I'm very pleased with the site. It makes doing it yourself look very easy. A member of the public would swear that the site is built by a professional. They literally have put the power in your hands. There really is a template for everyone. Cheers hope you have fun building your site. Definitely a step in the right direction of you want a professional compilation of your work."

"I was looking for a simple, fast and practical platform to promote my portfolio, searching I found Journo Portfolio, right from the start I was surprised by the stability and speed of the system, which allowed me to quickly make an initial setup with an MVP from my website. In addition, metrics are also available that help a lot to measure performance and access to our portfolio. Anyway, I just have to thank the dedication of the product team, developers and designers in thinking of such an efficient platform, and that helps us to publicize our work. I recommend Journo Portfolio."

"Journo portfolio is a great and clear site for creating a portfolio. Whether it's for work or school, anyone can get a professional look. On the website, you can make the portfolio look like yourself by changing or adding colors and sections. Just add your own pictures or your completed works and you can complete the stylish pages. I recommend"

"Journo Portfolio, a portfolio builder that's geared towards professional writers, bloggers, and journalists, allows you to create a beautiful portfolio showcasing your best work in just minutes. Its platform is surprisingly simple, without skimping on features or appearance. Even their free plan, which includes a home page and 10 articles, comes with plenty of perks, such as built-in Google analytics integration and several themes for users to choose from. If you want unlimited articles, you can upgrade to the "Plus" plan for less than $5/mo and for less than $8/mo (the "Pro" plan), they will throw in a custom domain as well. All in all, one of the best deals for an impressive, web-based portfolio that you'll be proud to attach to pitches."
