1. Keep it simple
Simplicity Is the ultimate sophistication. Make
your portfolio simple and easy to use. Avoid
making it cluttered and complicated.

Skip all the unnecessary features and add-ons

and instead keep the essential things in your
portfolio: your work.

2. Mention Previous Job

Experience
Have you had any jobs previously, or were you
working as an intern? You can add these
experiences to your portfolio. Mention things you
had learned and any relevant information. Make
sure it's appropriate to your field.

3. Present Only Your

Best Work
You can put as many projects as you want. Still,
people reviewing your portfolio won't spend their
time reviewing all the projects, so you have to
decide which projects are your best and only
present them in your portfolio.

4. Downloadable Resume
You should make it simple for potential
employers to download a copy of your resume
and print it out if they want to.

Because many people still use hard-copy

resumes today. So please add it.

5. Use a Tagline
Many portfolios have slogans like “Welcome to
my portfolio,”, “Hi, I'm Adrian, and I'm a web
developer,” etc.
Instead, you can use something strong and
effective like “Empowering your web identity”,
“We develop websites that ignite your business.”
That tells visitors who you are and what you can
offer them in a better way.

6. Make Sure to add links to

your projects & code

Add live links to your projects; it's a great idea to
show your clients the best work you've done so
that clients can understand what you're capable
of.
https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery
7. Include Testimonials

or Reviews

Having testimonials or reviews from previous

clients is best. Clients can naturally trust each

other more than they trust just marketing

collateral, so that testimonial adds more

weight to the decision they're trying to make.

8. Share About Yourself

Add some personality to your portfolio. You can

make a descriptive “About” page to learn more

about you, your background, & your education.

Also, make sure to link to your LinkedIn.

10. Stay Consistent in Design
Consistency in design is about making elements
uniform — having them look and behave the
same way, for example, consistent navigation,
consistent page layouts, or consistent control
elements.

That consistency helps constantly prove a user's

assumptions about the user interface, creating a
sense of control, familiarity, and reliability.

9. Show Your Awards &

Acknowledgments

Have you ever been recognized for something

outstanding? Share it in your portfolio.

The awards/recognition can be anything

such as:

winning a coding contest

receiving an award in your local area (or

online)

Placing in a hackathon

But make sure it is relevant to your field.

11. Include a Contact Form
The most important part of your portfolio, apart
from your work, is a contact form. People should
be easily able to get in touch with you.

You can include a generic contact form on your

website, and you should also add a way the
visitors can get in touch with you—whether it's an
email address or a phone number.

12. Get yourself a custom

domain and suitable
hosting
If you want your website to look professional, buy
a professional domain. Don't use domains like
'.netlify.app', '.vercel.app', etc.

https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery

I know many beginners can't afford a
professional domain, but a professional domain
always looks better than a subdomain.

Another great advantage of using a professional

domain name is purchasing one domain name,
creating subdomains, and pointing them to
different projects—for example:
project.domain.com

I've partnered with Hostinger to offer you great

hosting and domains at highly affordable rates.

13. Your Specialties and

Services You Offer

You want to clarify what you do and specialize in

on your portfolio since it can vary so much. If you

create an eCommerce website for small

businesses, mention that.

If you're passionate about React.js, let your

clients know. Making your specialties crystal

clear helps your potential clients.

https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery

14. Good Call to Action (CTA)
Please make sure you add a good amount of
calls to action in your portfolio but also don't
make it confusing for the visitor. Every call to
action should have a purpose.

The examples of CTAs that you can add are a
Contact Me CTA and a CTA to View Your Projects.

https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery

15. Keep the User Experience
in Mind

I have seen a lot of portfolios where loading

animation appears, and it lasts more than

15 - 30 seconds, and it's not a good user

experience.

Like that, there are many things you should take

care of, such as easy navigation, good
background and text contrast, good call to
action buttons, etc.
