Ideas

Portfolio ideas worth stealing

The portfolios that work tend to make the same decisions well. Seven worth borrowing before you build yours.

  • 1

    Cut the navigation to three things

    Portfolio, About, Contact is enough for most creative professionals. Every extra menu item is a decision you are handing to someone who came to look at your work. Start narrow, you can always add later.

  • 2

    Sort the work by the job, not the shoot

    An art buyer arrives with a brief. Group your work the way they think about hiring, advertising, editorial, commercial, and they land on the relevant set in one click.

  • 3

    Show fewer pieces than you want to

    Ten strong projects beat forty mixed ones, because people judge you on the weakest thing they see. Cut anything you would not want to be hired to do again.

  • 4

    Lead with one strong image, not a menu

    The first thing on the page should be work, not a welcome line or a row of buttons. One full-bleed image that represents your best gives a visitor a reason to keep scrolling before they have read a word.

  • 5

    Make it readable in one scroll

    When the link goes to someone who will spend under a minute on it, a single well-ordered page often beats a multi-page site. Less to click, nothing to miss.

  • 6

    Put contact one click from everywhere

    The person ready to hire you should not have to hunt. A contact link in the main navigation, and again at the foot of the work, catches them at both the moments they decide.

  • 7

    Own the domain

    A portfolio on your own domain reads as a professional who is here to stay, not a profile on someone else platform. It is also the version you keep if you ever change tools.

Examples

Portfolio examples that sell, deliver and book

A portfolio does not have to stop at showing work. On Pixpa the same site can sell, publish, deliver client work and run in more than one language, without stitching separate tools together.

  • Sell prints, originals or digital downloads straight from the site and keep the full sale price. Pixpa takes zero commission.

  • 2

    Portfolios that deliver client galleries

    Share proofs, let clients favourite and approve, and deliver finished galleries from the same site the work lives on. No second platform, no per-gallery fee.

  • Everything on a single scroll: work, about, contact. The fastest kind to build and the fastest to read.

  • Publish alongside the work and give people a reason to come back, and Google a reason to keep indexing you.

  • 5

    Portfolios in more than one language

    Run the same site in two languages when your enquiries come from more than one market. The difference between being found and not.

4.7/5 · 600+ reviews on Capterra

Why creatives choose Pixpa

4.7 out of 5 across more than 600 reviews on Capterra, with Customer Service rated 4.9 and Value for Money 4.8. Reviewers routinely say it punches above its price. Twelve years building portfolio websites for photographers, artists and designers, with support answered by a person, not a bot.

I love being able to show a clean portfolio but also sell prints in the integrated e-commerce system. Great stuff.

Douglas C. Fine Art Photographer

Website creation was much easier than this non-techie person could have imagined.

FAQs

Questions about portfolio websites

Everything else you might want to know before you start. Still curious? Live chat is open 24/7.

What should a portfolio website look like?

Work first, everything else second. Most of the portfolios here open straight onto images with no welcome message, keep the navigation to three or four items, and put contact one click away from anywhere. Past that, the structure follows the kind of work you want to be hired for.

Fewer than you would think, usually ten to fifteen strong pieces. A visitor judges you on the weakest thing they see, so cut anything you would not want to be hired to repeat.

A portfolio is the body of work. A portfolio website is the place it lives online, on your own domain, always available, and set up so a client or employer can see the work and reach you without you sending files. Every example here is the second kind.

Yes. Every example names its template and links straight to it. Templates are fully editable, and you can add custom CSS or HTML if you want to take one further.

No. Every site here started from a template, and most of the people who built them are not designers. You pick one that fits your work, swap in your own images and words, and adjust from there.

Every one. These are live sites belonging to working photographers, artists, designers and other creative professionals, published on Pixpa with their permission. None are mockups.
