Your portfolio is the page a prospective client looks at before deciding whether to write to you. If the images load slowly, appear in random order or have no context, they leave. A good portfolio is edited down, labeled and easy to act on.
Gallery first, case pages second
The gallery is the quick look: a grid of your strongest images, grouped by type of work, that opens to a larger view. People should grasp your style in ten seconds.
Case pages go deeper for the projects that earned them. Each one explains the brief, what you did and how it turned out, with a few images and a link to contact you. Three or four good case pages do more than thirty unlabeled thumbnails.
What every portfolio piece needs
- ✓A clear title — name the project or the type of work
- ✓One sentence of context — who it was for and what was asked
- ✓Your role — what you did, so credit is honest
- ✓A next step — a button or line inviting an inquiry
Image rights and honesty
Only show work you have the right to show. If a client’s name or home appears in a photo, get their permission or crop it. If a piece was made as a sample or concept, label it as a demo so no one thinks it was a paying job.
We size and compress your images so the page stays quick on mobile, and we write alt text for each so the gallery means something to a screen reader.
What to send us
- ✓Your best images — higher quality files than you would post on social
- ✓Titles and notes — a line about each project
- ✓Permission notes — which clients agreed to be shown
- ✓Your categories — how you group your work
What to expect, honestly
- ✓No stock fillers — we show only the work you supply
- ✓No image rights review — you confirm you may display each piece
- ✓No unlimited galleries — pages are counted against your plan
