Portfolio

A portfolio usually gets opened in a row of browser tabs by a hiring manager, a client or a casting director who is skimming. Our portfolio website templates are designed for that skim, with selected work up front, a short introduction and a direct way to reach you. They are built around one person's work rather than a team's service list, so the spotlight stays on you.

Pages that put your work first

• Home with your name, what you do and a handful of featured projects.
• Work page with project cards that open into case studies covering the brief, your role, the process and the result.
• About with a photo, your background, the tools you use and past clients or credits.
• Contact with a short form, your email and links to the profiles you keep active.
• Services and pricing sections for freelancers, explaining what you offer and how a project runs.
• Shop or blog pages in some designs, for selling prints or writing about your process.

Designers, developers, artists and actors

UX, brand and product designers can use designer portfolio website templates to walk through case studies with sketches, wireframes and final screens. Developers get project cards that link to live work and room for the languages and frameworks they use. For painters, illustrators and ceramicists, art web design templates with large images and quiet monochrome or editorial styling let the pieces carry the page. Actors have their own checklist, and actor website templates should make the headshot, reel, credits and agent contact easy to find. Students and career changers can start from personal portfolio website templates too, because a focused site with a few strong projects gives an interviewer something concrete to discuss.

Shape the template around your work

Tailor the words, then add the real work. When you first open your copy of the template, describe your practice, such as a freelance motion designer working with sports brands, and AI tailoring rewrites every page, with the option to restyle colors, fonts and the logo as well. Replace the stock images it adds with your actual projects before you share the link.

Check case studies at phone width. Adjust image sizes and spacing separately for each breakpoint, because many portfolio links are opened on a phone between meetings.

Use a domain with your name. Publish on TeleportHQ hosting with SSL and a CDN, then connect a custom domain so your address matches your email signature and résumé.

Take the code with you. Developers on paid plans can export the project as React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Angular or HTML/CSS and download a ZIP or push it to GitHub.

Tips for a portfolio that gets you hired

• Show fewer, better projects. Five detailed case studies say more than twenty thumbnails.
• Open each case study with the problem or the result, then show how you got there.
• On team projects, state your exact role so credit is clear.
• Artists should list medium, dimensions and availability for every piece.
• Actors should keep headshots and credits current and put representation details on the first screen.
• Put your name and discipline in the home page SEO title, for example your name followed by illustrator in Chicago.
