How to Choose the Right Portfolio Website Design

The right portfolio design does not compete with your work; it makes it easier to see.
Start with your work
Visual work such as photography benefits from large images and a dark or neutral background. Written or technical work needs room for explanation and links.
Think about your audience
A recruiter may skim for thirty seconds, while a client may read case studies. Design for the person who decides.
Keep it simple
Clear navigation, readable type and plenty of whitespace age better than trends. Make sure it works well on a phone.
Look at real styles
