Need recommendation for creating a digital portfolio

[Cory]

could always use Apple's keynote - which I believe can export a presentation as a quicktime mov..not sure if you can export as a self contained app however.

How about making a DVD. They won't even need a computer to watch, just a DVD player. I heard iDVD works well, but I've never used it.

keynote is very powerful and very easy to use

i figured some stuff in about 5 mins using the trial version i got with osx and mucked about and ended up with a slick little presentation in about an hour

there's a latest version out that has a lot more filters too

i have a colleague who has used powerpoint and keynote and he has stated that keynote is a much better programme all round, and much much easier to use - from the little i've used it i'd back that up

export options i dont know - my trial version was save disabled.

then again, design it for the target audience and i guess powerpoint is the way....

This is the answer, I believe. A valued designer these days can do both print design as well as web. You can even make your pdf resume have a link in it that takes you to the website.

I host a site for as little as $11/bucks a month through Yahoo. There are tons of hosting options out there.

If you MUST have a CD, either flash or powerpoint should be acceptable.

Well, step one is complete.

Thanks again for all your suggestions!
