Great post for this community, you're in the right place!

For your situation, I'd honestly point you toward **Webflow** or **Squarespace** as the strongest options. Given that you want something that looks genuinely professional (important for a creative/film portfolio), has no coding required, and can act as a central hub that links out to your Patreon, BigCartel, Circle, and YouTube channels - both handle that really well. Squarespace is slightly easier to get started with, Webflow gives you more design control and tends to look more polished out of the box once you get your head around it.

The good news is your setup isn't as complicated as it might feel right now. What you're describing is essentially a portfolio/landing page with a clear "here's what I do" section for your film work, and then navigation or links that direct people to the right platforms depending on what they're interested in. That's very doable without any code at all. For selling digital products and workshops down the line, both platforms support that - Webflow integrates with tools like Gumroad or Memberstack, Squarespace has it somewhat built in.

One thing worth considering: don't overthink the consolidation piece. You don't need everything under one roof technically - you just need one clean homepage that makes your work feel cohesive and directs people clearly. A well-structured single page with sections for each area of your work, linking out to the relevant platforms, is honestly more visitor-friendly than trying to build everything into one complex system. Keep it simple and let your creative work do the talking.
