WHAT THE SITE IS FOR
Showing work, and making it easy to commission you.
THE WORK COMES FIRST
Portfolio prominent, with minimal interface around it. Visitors came to see the work.
IMAGES
Quality matters, and so does speed. A portfolio taking ten seconds to load undermines the work it displays.
Resize properly, compress, and lazy load.
CONTEXT
For each piece: what it was, who it was for, what you did. A gallery of images with no context is less persuasive than a few projects explained.
ABOUT
For creative work, people are hiring you specifically. A real photograph and a genuine account of how you work matter.
CONTACT
Obvious and easy. A portfolio with a hidden contact page is a common and self-defeating mistake.
PRICING
Difficult in creative work. At minimum, explain how projects typically work and what affects cost.
PROTECTING WORK
You cannot prevent copying. Publishing at moderate resolution is the practical compromise.
MAINTENANCE
Update it. A portfolio showing work from four years ago suggests you have not worked since.
