– Start Small:
Kick things off with projects you’ve already got under your belt, from your studies or personal passion projects. Remember, quality wins over quantity every time. Start off with student work, personal projects, freelance bits, passion projects. If it showcases your creativity and thinking… get it in. 🌈
As you build your experience, the big clients and huge projects will start rolling in.
– Pick the Right Spot:
Depending on the sort of role you want to go for, you could choose no-code builders and highly customisable web portfolios like:
Squarespace (https://www.squarespace.com/) or Webflow (https://webflow.com/)
If you’re a Developer, this is your chance to show off. Build a static site using HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript, then host it for free via GitHub Pages (https://github.com/).
Community-hosted platforms enhance your searchability. Many peeps come to me with portfolios hosted by Behance (https://www.behance.net/) or Dribble (https://dribbble.com/).
– Create a Narrative:
Storytelling boosts engagement! Detail each project. Dive into the details. Talk about your role, the tools you used, your process, and the end result. This kind of context is pure gold for anyone checking out your work.
– Add Testimonials:
Got some positive feedback from colleagues, professors, or clients? Pop those in. They can really boost your credibility.
