How to design a portfolio on the website
How to create a portfolio
Each completed project was a specific task once. With exactly the same task, other potential customers will come to the company. And if they see that they coped with it brilliantly here, they will gladly place their order.
That is why, when creating a website for a portfolio, you need to look at it through the client's eyes. And he will definitely want to see under each project:
- The order options. What goal was set, what were the deadlines?
- The job description. How they performed, what difficulties they encountered, how they managed to overcome them?
- The result. What has been achieved, preferably in numbers?
For example, some people prefer to show how the budget has increased.


If desired, and if possible, you can specify or mention the budget in passing — it helps customers to ask the price and make a choice in favor of the company.

Here is an additional plus — the portfolio will not be oversaturated. In addition, not all customers have time to view all the work. Some just need to see a couple on their topic to make a choice.

Secondly, if a company has been in the market for more than three years and is constantly being improved, it is worth gradually replacing old works with new ones. This is very relevant for the website of the designer's portfolio: trends and technologies are constantly changing, and against this background, it is very easy to seem outdated.


Finally, you need to apply creative. One of the options is an unusual arrangement of project photos:
