I looked at a bunch of different portfolio websites and here’s what my biggest conclusion: a web design or web developer portfolio should show, not tell.
A good online portfolio gets out of the way and showcases the work. Are you a great WordPress developer? Show your best WordPress sites on your homepage. Do you have great development skills? Link to your GitHub. Are you looking for clients? Put testimonials front and center. Show your potential employers and potential clients— don’t just tell them.
The best web developer portfolios get specific about their skillset. If you’re a front end developer get specific about your work with animations and frameworks like Bootstrap. If you’re a back end software developer, share your skills in the latest technologies.
It can also be helpful to share your own personal projects on your own portfolio— personal projects are a chance to showcase the work you hope to do.
