Eportfolio help!

I have chosen to create a simple portfolio so that  I can learn how to implement information, graphics, effects, etc. I chose to search on line for different types of web page creators and came across wix.com..Has anyone ever used it? Pretty good with effects and different ways to put information on there but i am struggling to put links on to my page. I have cut/ pasted. Tried to link, upload documents with link in it..nothing works. If anyone has any clue let me know. I have been working on it for the past week here and there and really don't want to restart.
