I know doing volunteer websites are one. I want to create a portfolio website for myself but I currently can’t afford a domain and monthly hosting yet.

I’m about 4-5 years of self-taught HTML and CSS with a about almost a year of experience with PHP. I’ve been designing with photoshop for about 2-3 years now and there’s a lot of professional designs I have done.

What else could I possibly do to get my name out there some more and get myself a web designing job? I also prefer not to code but I can if I have to and I like to do pretty basic websites for people. I still need a lot of experience with databases and mySQL so I don’t really want to do anything too big too.

Thanks for the help. I’ll choose a best answer too. :)

Like working for a huge company like a ad agency or a design firm here in southern California. Can some suggest which company is like number 1 or at least give me a list of the top 5 companies that are best to work for as a graphic designer?

thank you
