Many people use sites like Wix or Squarespace to create a site with project descriptions, resume etc. And then link to modules stored in a web service such as amazon web service. Some people even link to their 360 review site for things that are temporary. There are lots of other ways and different services and website hosting sites you can use as well.
I have a Wix site that I use! It works great. If they are courses I cannot show in great detail due to compliance reasons, I usually do a screen recording overview to walk through and detail exactly what was done and why. Others I intend on storing in a web service for access.
I have a portfolio in Wix as well. I did the same thing. ie. Used a screen recording to highlight the key points. In the body of the remaining page, I also listed the instructional design choices.
Just adding to this - I think the first thing to do is to ensure that the Portfolio SPECIFICALLY matches, in some way, what they are looking for in the opportunity that you are going for. I like David's idea of using Rise, as you can (potentially) very quickly build something that is representative, and something that changes along with the opportunities.
Can you point to an example portfolio that was created with Rise? I, too, am trying to build a portfolio and have been struggling with Google Drive. I'm looking for a fast and easy alternative. Wix users, I would love to see your portfolios too, please post a link.
I don't have an example created in Rise to show you, sorry. I just felt that having developed courses in Rise some of the features might lend themselves to portfolio building for those without web-development capabilities.
I'd like to add that if you are building a public-facing portfolio to sit on the web permanently, I would always recommend building a website so you can benefit from proper SEO. Afterall, we want as many people as possible to find and view our portfolios don't we!

If building a website-based portfolio isn't an option maybe creating something in Rise could work.

Bruce and David,
