While on a 3-month trip around the world, during which I took 15,000 photos, I noticed how interesting people's faces were. When I returned, I created a display called "Faces of the World". Now I've been asked to make a website and post the photos from that display.
Has anyone had experience with a site where I can post them, and what would you recommend? I am NOT wanting to sell photos, just have them available for viewing.
Thanks!

Zenfolio allows unlimited amount of photos at no extra cost. You don't have to sell them to use the site.

I use zenfolio for business, they do have a lot of features but there's a cost... you can create a free wordpress site at wordpress.com - the free feature allow for images but to get a good gallery plugin you have to pay extra.

Many use Zenfolio or Smugmug but believe there is a charge if want anything but basic or limited use. Here are a number of free sites. For what you need maybe popular Google Photos or Dropbox would work.

A couple of archive search’s for this topic will give you a miriad of opinions. Zenfolio, smugmug, and flicker come up often

Weebly is fairly easy to learn, drag and drop, and you can set one up for free. I have three sites with them.

If you are on the Adobe $10 "Photographer's Plan" a "Portfolio" website is included along with the Lightrooms and Photoshop.

I have been using Nikon Image Space for years, and it's excellent. Also, Nikon upgrades the site on a regular basis. If you own a Nikon camera and register the serial number, you get 20 GB of storage at no cost (otherwise, there is no cost to using Image Space up to 2 GB of storage).

You could check out Raise, it's free from Canon but I don't think there is any requirement to shoot Canon to post,

I use shutterfly all the time. It's free and viewers don't have to have an account to view them.

A note about RAISE. You can NOT use this site if you are a resident of Illinois, Texas or Washington.
