Wix.com (WIX - Free Report) has announced its new Wix Portfolio, which enables professional users and students to customize and develop an online portfolio to showcase and grow their business.

Wix Portfolio enables its customers to concentrate more on their vision instead of the web designing process. Customers can change their portfolio design with pre-designed layouts, add navigation buttons, change the font and add additional personalization to their portfolio without the need to update pages individually.

Customers can also use the Wix Owner App to update and manage large portfolios efficiently. Also, existing portfolio projects made on external platforms, such as Dribbble, Instagram, DeviantArt and Google Photos can be synced immediately to a user's Wix Portfolio.

Additionally, any changes made on the synced channels will also be reflected on a user’s Wix Portfolio. This will help the user to save time and resources and enable the user to maintain a consistent online presence.
