Edit: as I discovered (see post #22) the method described has some limitations in the quality of your images especially those that are cropped. If you are going to use this method from Lightroom Desktop, I suggest you crop all your images in a destructive way (jpg, tiff) etc to 2560 on the long side.
One of my summer goals was to set up Adobe Portfolio this summer.
Adobe Portfolio - included with the Photography Plan even the 9.99 one, allows you to create a Portfolio website. Only cost to you is if you use a custom domain.
Here's a recap of my hour today.
I had set up 10 collections in LRc previously with images ranging from 8-56 in number. My idea was once set up I would refine which ones and how they present themselves.
I turned on Sync in LRc (cloud in upper right) and checked the tick marks next to the 10 collections.
I went to https://portfolio.adobe.com/ and made a site with my plan. You can watch the Terry White Video below to get an idea. You can choose from a number of themes.
Bottom line is that it isn't hard.
My LRc synch didn't go smoothly in terms of the names. I don't understand why but my collection names got changed and mixed up. I opened up Lightroom web and sorted this out.
Now seems to work ok and I am not sure what caused it.
Editing the pages and layouts is fairly intuitive once you do it a few times.
NOTE - the benefit of this process is you manage the web content from Lightroom Classic or Lightroom. When you choose to Reset a Page from Lightroom all your changes to the collection including changes to images or new images etc will synch to your Portfolio site.
My next step will be exactly that - refine which images I want to show and update the edits and then resynch it all.
You can easily use a custom domain name.
I recommend the video below for a great starter lesson. Oh but then it will take two hours.
