New photography portfolio site

I'm in two minds as to whether renew my photography portfolio site hosted on photium. Am not really sure it's worth the $100 odd p.a. but then I took a long time tweaking it to get it how I wanted  it.

Looking at other options, I made a quick and dirty portfolio on carbonmade. The free version restricts you to five projects and 35 photos but I like the simple look of it and the limited uploading helped to focus image selection.
