Earlier quoted context omitted.

it seems that the site is partly down: the portolio accounts have connection problem, yours including The rest works

Hey, dev here, can you please elaborate on your issue?

links like a2.devport.co (i.e. *.devport.co) didn't work, the rest worked. Now, everything is down.

I think the service is too expensive for an audience, that knows how to put a website online and what hosting costs. I think it should be either cheaper or more expensive but full service ("Answer these questsions, our designers/writer take care of everything for you").

Agree with the sentiment that the service is too expensive for the audience. Consider packaging a free domain with it? Yeah it'll cut your profit right now but in a year when it's due for renewal, that's when the money comes rolling in.

$3 / mo is too expensive? Or did they change their pricing after your comment?

Especially for front-end or full-stack developers, for whom the portfolio itself (i.e. a custom site) is a key portfolio piece.

I altered the price as an experiment, it was previously $12/m.

It was $12/month when I first checked.

You can deploy your own custom portfolio templates and assets to DevPort. This way you can use your own design while using DevPort admin interface to manage your projects and information. http://devport.co/creating-a-devport-template/
