Why Designers Should Have Their Own Portfolio Website

Design showcase platforms are useful for exposure, but they present your work inside someone else’s frame.
Your layout is part of the work
For a designer, the portfolio itself is a sample. Typography, spacing and pacing say as much as the projects do.
Tell the story behind the work
A personal site gives room for process, constraints and decisions, which clients and employers increasingly want to understand.
Own your address
A dedicated link is easy to put on a CV, proposal or email signature, and it does not depend on a platform’s rules.
