Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about portfolio website design

How many projects should I include in my portfolio website?

Quality always trumps quantity when it comes to portfolio websites. We typically recommend following these guidelines:

  • For most creatives: 8-12 high-quality projects that showcase range and expertise
  • For specialists: 5-8 deep case studies in your specific niche
  • For beginners: 4-6 strong projects (quality personal or conceptual projects are fine)

The key is to showcase your best work that's relevant to the type of projects or jobs you want to attract. Each project should demonstrate different skills, solve various problems, or appeal to different client types. We'll help you curate your work strategically during our initial discovery phase, focusing on projects that tell a compelling story about your unique strengths and capabilities.

What's the difference between using a portfolio platform and having a custom portfolio website?

While platforms like Behance, Dribbble, or industry-specific portfolio sites offer convenience, a custom portfolio website provides significant advantages:

  • Complete Brand Control: Your custom website reflects your unique brand without platform-imposed limitations or competing with other creators on the same platform.
  • Professional Domain: A personalized domain name (yourname.com) enhances credibility and memorability compared to username.portfolioplatform.com addresses.
  • Unique Experience Design: Custom websites allow for innovative layouts, interactions, and presentation methods that differentiate your work rather than forcing it into standardized templates.
  • Flexibility in Presentation: Custom sites let you structure project presentations optimally for your work rather than conforming to platform constraints.
  • Direct Client Communication: Custom contact forms, lead generation tools, and analytics provide direct client relationships without platform intermediaries.
  • Additional Content Options: Include supplementary sections like blogs, services pages, or specialized content that wouldn't fit on portfolio platforms.

The ideal approach is often a combination—maintaining presence on relevant portfolio platforms for discovery while directing serious prospects to your professional custom website for a comprehensive experience of your work and brand.

How do you make portfolio websites generate actual client inquiries?

Transforming a portfolio from a passive showcase into a lead-generating asset requires strategic design and content approaches:

  • Audience-Focused Curation: We strategically select and organize projects that appeal to your target clients rather than just showcasing personal favorites.
  • Problem-Solution Storytelling: For each project, we highlight the challenges solved and results achieved, demonstrating the tangible value you provide to clients.
  • Strategic Calls-to-Action: We place clear, compelling calls-to-action throughout the site to guide visitors toward contacting you or taking the next step.
  • Social Proof Integration: We incorporate testimonials, client logos, awards, or recognition alongside your work to build trust and credibility.
  • Conversion-Optimized Contact: We design intuitive, frictionless contact options that make reaching out to you simple and appealing.
  • SEO Strategy: We implement search optimization for your portfolio to attract potential clients actively searching for your services.
  • Analytics Implementation: We set up tracking to monitor visitor behavior and continuously refine the site for better conversion rates.

Our portfolio websites aren't just visual showcases—they're strategically designed business tools built to convert admirers into clients through a carefully crafted user journey.
