There is Shutterfly, Smugmug and countless others. Is there one that you have used and found to be outstanding?

Hmm... I'll look into it. I have pictures on Behance. I'm hoping to sell some of my photography. Some sites offer ways for customers to pick a photo and get it printed and framed (if desired) "easily". I've not dug deep into these ideas so they may be more trouble than they are worth.What about https://portfolio.adobe.com/. ?? It is free with your subscription and you can get your own personal domains for less that $10USD/yr

There are numerous sites, and your use case and budget usually will help narrow down the choices. You mentioned SmugMug and there is their crosstown competitors Zenfolio and Squarespace among others. WHCC has a list of their partners, and that has numerous services that might interest you as well: https://www.whcc.com/ordering/integrated-partners/ .There is Shutterfly, Smugmug and countless others.

I think Portfolio is a good idea for someone who is utilizing the whole Adobe cloud ecosystem. I'm not and discovered I'd have to start syncing images to LR Cloud albums in order to make use of Portfolio. My personal preference is to be able to update images separately.What about https://portfolio.adobe.com/. ??
Which you certainly can do with Portfolio, should you wish. If you wish, you can completely avoid using LR, not just its cloud feature.I think Portfolio is a good idea for someone who is utilizing the whole Adobe cloud ecosystem.

So, either you upload images to Shutterfly, Smugmug etc.or to Lightroom (cloudy) Is there a difference? Only Lightroom/Lightroom Classic have an automatic process. I find it a lot easier to make a decision in one place and have it propagate everywhere that to have to remember where that decision has impacted other facets of my work and manually follow them up. Changes BTW in LrC which propagate to Lr do not update websites automatically in Portfolio. (or I have not figured out how to get Portfolio pages to update automatically. )I think Portfolio is a good idea for someone who is utilizing the whole Adobe cloud ecosystem.

Thanks @johnbeardy . It's been a few years since I tried Portfolio and at that time, I couldn't figure out how to upload files directly.If you wish, you can completely avoid using LR, not just its cloud feature.
Is there a space limitation in portfolio adobe? For example sharing pictures with clients?What about https://portfolio.adobe.com/. ?? It is free with your subscription and you can get your own personal domains for less that $10USD/yr

AFAIK, no limitation. Just as Lightroom Classic stores proxy Smart previews for free, It would seem reasonable that Portfolio would do the same. I know of no limitation mentioned in the description of the Portfolio Product,

No....a single portfolio site can contain multiple "pages", and each "page" can be the contents of a single Lightroom album, and each single album is restricted to 500 images. I currently have about 8 albums posted to a single Portfolio site, thus they could collectively contain 4000 images.So sharing photos with customers means that 500 images can be shared at once. Right?

A reputable site’s terms of service should say that you retain ownership of everything you upload (that you have valid copyright to).One point to consider is the EULA for any service to make sure you are not giving the rights of your photos away by using the service.
… Adobe Portfolio can’t do this or any higher service level; for example I think you can have only one password for the entire website so private client galleries are not possible....
I'm a computer geek. I've been wanting to build my own photo web site but with all kinds of neat options and such but @#$%!!!! it would be a ton of work. (Not just a simple portfolio type thing but one that had nice metadata understanding, the ability to send images to print shops, etc.)You could get a domain and WordPress hosted site inexpensively. Some work to set up, but you would have full control of the design.
