Luckily, there are many options for launching a well-designed and functional website portfolio. I will focus on teaching you how to create yours independently. I suggest creating your own website portfolio if you have: - A desire to learn - An eye for digital design - Sufficient time - Content ready-to-go - Patience
I will be walking you through how to build a website portfolio (or digital portfolio) and drawing your attention to features of particular importance. Let’s begin by exploring the definition of a website portfolio. A website portfolio is a collection of digital pages that provide professional information about an individual and showcases their work. In the photography world, a website portfolio may display a collection of images, videos, past projects, testimonials, available services, contact information, and an autobiography. As you can imagine, having a digital one-stop-shop with all relevant details of your work is valuable to your business, especially in 2021. A website portfolio is the foundation of your digital presence and significantly increases your credibility as a professional. So how do you create one?
If this list of characteristics does not describe you, I suggest contacting a web-site development agency or hiring a freelancer to build your website portfolio. You can simply search for agencies in your area or ask your network for recommendations. To hire a freelancer, you can search for website developers on Upwork or a popular website builder marketplace such as Wix Marketplace. I suggest finding a few websites that you would like to model or having a few sketches to show the agency or freelancer your vision.
