200 Portfolio Sites for Web Design Inspiration

Advertise here with BSA

Designers and developers are growing in numbers and plenty of these folks have outstanding portfolios. The common advantage of the Internet is that anybody from anywhere in the world can check out your projects during any time of the day! If you wish to land more freelance work then I would recommend taking a peek at your current portfolio to see if anything could be updated.

And to help with building ideas for your own website, I have collected 200 various portfolios of graphics designers, developers, writers, and other digital creatives. This is a massive showcase gallery full of design inspiration for unique portfolio layouts. I strived to include only designs which really change things up from the typical portfolio website templates. Plus in addition to these design examples, I would love to read other people’s thoughts on how to build a great portfolio site in the comments section.

Mathew Helme

Mat has one of the nicest portfolio sites I’ve seen. The web copy is brilliant, his work is fantastic and the homepage is very easy to scroll through. Perfect example of showcasing work and keeping it simple.

Aaron C-T

Clean and lightweight is a great way to get started. Especially if you’re new and just building a portfolio, this style is great to capture attention and focus on the work.

Becky Murphy

Becky is a writer and illustrator who has created some great pieces and her own book. Her website is a showcase of illustrations and not much else. Great for keeping visitors interested on the quality of your design work.

Nidhi Chanani

One of my favorite illustrators is Nidhi because of her style and context. The header banner is unique helps give the website a deeper connection to visitors.

Vitor

Aside from the beautiful animations this layout is futuristic and trend-worthy. I love this design because it focuses on so many different talents while keeping the content front-and-center. It’s a single page website but everything you need to know is right there in your face.

Kirk Wallace

A simple setup with a clean display of work. Kirk links out to his online shop where you can buy prints and other designs. Very nice touch when trying to earn some extra cash on the side of project work.

Mary Fran Wiley

Here I like the clean colors and matching tones. It’s not the perfect theme but it does offer everything you’d expect in a portfolio layout.

Lilondra Ospina

Lilondra uses a lot of textures and bright colors to evoke a more wondrous feeling. Towards the bottom you’ll find client testimonials which is always a smooth addition when freelancing.

Iris Eda Atalay

On this example I especially love the choice of typography. The font and the size makes everything crystal-clear. All of the work loads on a single page through AJAX without any other HTTP requests.

Graham Erwin

This simple portfolio is another example of white and clean. Showcasing enough work to catch people’s attention without extra distractions.

Alecks Faure

Alecks uses a very simple portfolio with just a bit of contact details and further links. In the world of Dribbble this can always be an option to give people a deeper look at what you do without needing a complicated website.

Sean O’Grady

Sean keeps it bright and vibrant which doesn’t always work – but when done properly it’s an exception choice for colors. Try to get a feel for why this design works so well and how it captures interest at a glance.

Thomas Burns

This 2-column layout is very common amongst illustrators. It’s an easy theme to customize and you get to showcase a whole bunch of creative work. If you do any type of drawing, painting, or digital painting this is a great portfolio style.

Kevin Kim

Kevin Kim focuses mostly on typography while drawing attention into the page. If you go this route I would even recommend subbing to Typekit and choosing your own fonts. It builds a little more credibility in the design.

Diogo Bessa

Diogo uses horizontal blocks to divide sections of the website. This crisp visibility helps users skim and quickly capture interest in different projects. I also really like the header design – simple yet efficient.

Dominik Rymsza

On this portfolio there’s a mix of icons, typography, and background textures. The site feels very professional almost like a studio. Great for a personal portfolio as long as you keep a solid branding like Dominik.

Mark Hendriks

The background styles on this website also seem quite vibrant. It’s a tough system but I really like the design. Hard to pull off with a first layout, but not impossible if you know how to stretch or repeat backgrounds.

Mark Peck

Mark Peck does some excellent work and his portfolio is no different. The header using his photo is a nice way to present who he is to each visitor. Content is clean and readable, plus the work is energetically featured.

Francisco Inchauste

I really like the Finch branding as it’s always caught my attention. His older design was more typography-based while this design is a more of a balanced layout. Lots of great features and plenty of solid work to check out.

Pablo Vivanco

Here’s another simple portfolio without too much on the page. Pablo includes a link to his social networks where you can take a look at related works.

Rhubin Khalid

Rhubin makes his portfolio more about him and his skillset. If you have a crazy skillset & personality then visitors might find you to be quite interesting.

Judson Collier

Judson has a centered portfolio with just a few pages. Much of the design uses readable sans-serif typography and bright colors to attract the eye.

Derry Birkett

Derry has more of a blog-style portfolio with updates about new projects. I like the design because it’s unique and there are not many other portfolios using this style.

Lucas Perdidao

What I like most about this portfolio is the fading hover effect over links and icons. His project work is easy to understand while leading right out to Dribbble shots.

Cliff Huizenga

Cliff has a very simplistic design using a top header along with a plain white body section. Few distractions and most of the content is focused on design work. Another good example you could study when building your first portfolio.

Suzanne J Worthington

Suzanne has a very interesting ornamental icon for the portfolios branding. This can be found in the header and favicon section of the site. It seems to provide a relationship between the content and helps draw the eyes further into her site.

Derek Fidler

Derek performs a lot of different work and his portfolio showcases everything on the homepage. Everything is easy to maneuver and figure out exactly what you’re looking for.

Dennis Kramer

I especially like the initial loading effect you get on this portfolio layout. Each project is separated into horizontal blocks which draw attention quickly. Derek performs some exceptional work and his portfolio is an example of professional mixed with creative.

Dan Toth

Dan uses a very simple style with some basic navigation and page designs. Mostly white and minimal, keeping the focus on his work seems to be most important.

Dan Mall

I simply love this portfolio because it has so many dynamic elements. Dan Mall does a lot of interaction design and it shows through brilliantly in his website.

Ryan O. Hicks

Ryan uses a fixed scrolling bar on the website’s header design. It keeps attention and really does stay out of the way of primary content. It’s a clean style with plenty of screen real estate.

Chad Mueller

Grey and white along with bright colors mix together in this portfolio. His work is featured on individual pages which lead back & forward like blog posts. Easy navigation for first-time visitors.

Sean McCabe

Sean’s portfolio seems to focus a lot on typography and space. He does custom lettering and the examples of his work take over much of the homepage. It’s a great website and typography lovers would enjoy this design.

Kemie Guaida

Kemie includes plenty of illustration work on the site. It showscases both her design style and the website’s layout perfectly. If you have talent as an illustrator this is a great idea to keep in mind.

Muhamad Ulum

Muhamad uses parallax backgrounds and fixed horizontal blocks to showcase work and his social networks. It is a very simple portfolio and may work for new designers who want more than a minimalist layout.

Carl John Spencer

Carl has one of the fanciest animations I’ve seen in portfolio designs. His fonts and layout add onto this fancy & decorative style.

Naiara Abaroa

Naira has a funky portfolio showcasing more of a developer’s point-of-view. It works perfectly and looks very different from most portfolios. Yet all the key elements are in place to make this an excellent website.

Gregoire Vella

This portfolio features another header photo along with some clean interface features. Some of the portfolio entries utilize GIF animation to catch your attention. Overall is a clean yet detailed layout with some nice color choices.

Tommy Beemsterboer

Tommy has an exceptionally basic portfolio with links and some self-explanatory info. Worth checking out just to see how it works and what you might consider regarding a simple design.

Joshua Raichur

I really like Joshua’s design although it comes across more like a blog. It is a personal website so it does feature his work along with some writing. If a blog is crucial in your portfolio then consider adding those posts onto the homepage.

Jared Nickerson

Jared’s dark background helps each portfolio item snap off the page. This uses a similar 2-column system featured each portfolio item right on the homepage.

Jessie Sima

Jessie uses another 2-column style but has more padding between items. There is also more personal information along with portfolio entries. Great example of a talented individual with a very cute website.

Adam Becker

Adam Becker has a strange portfolio which doesn’t fit into a typical layout archetype. It looks swell but may not be something others think works for their own site. It’s definitely a unique concept, that’s for sure.

Helena Harvey

Helena fixed a rotating image slider on the homepage to showcase work samples. It’s a simple portfolio using the fixed header and other minute page details.

Thomas Pomarelle

I simply adore the colors and textures found on this portfolio. It shows how you can mix simplistic text along with a colorful design to achieve one hell of a layout.

Ariel Braverman

Ariel’s site is centered and sweet. The homepage uses a filterable portfolio list where you can sort through comics, illustrations, print work, and other categories. Very nice design and some great dynamic features.

Megan Louise

Megan’s site is very quick to load because there aren’t too many resources on the page. It’s simple yet efficient – one type of color scheme that gives off a certain branding of her work.

Seth Lunsford

Seth has another 2-col design with more of a simple interface. Each project is featured solely on the page and you can rotate through individual projects from the vertical navigation.

Jordan Flaig

Jordan uses a fixed background that looks really nice coupled with a sidebar menu. A lot of the portfolio seems dynamic but it’s more of a fixed content layout. The site features outstanding animations with a lot of different techniques.

Jason Stone

This site uses other parallax interface features along with a simplistic homepage. Everything is featured clean and center on the page. It also has a lot of work details and job history like you might find on a resume.

Kate England

I really like the design style here but some of the text can be difficult to read. Her portfolio definitely feels like a fullscreen website design. It’s creative and just screams “digital designer!”.

Whitney Miracle

Here’s another layout which features a very simple color scheme and page layout. Quick load times are important, and in this case she has done a flawless job.

Chris Dasie

Chris’ website implements a number of horizontal blocks splitting content along the page. It’s easy to skim and provides a quick reading experience.

Los Montoya

The branding is what should immediately catch your attention on this portfolio. Great way to make a name for yourself and keep up with modern trends.

Keen has a more simplistic approach to branding. You’ll find his name along with plenty of work featured right on the homepage. Clean and simple, yet perfect for anyone looking to browse his stuff.

Andrew Verboncouer

Andrew can do a lot of different work and his website is more of a placeholder for these jobs. You can find contact information along with some external links to his profiles. Great example of a minimalist style when starting to build your name online.

Sarah Enid

Sarah has a very cute layout with lots of space on the page. It was featured in the CSS Awards gallery and I’d say it’s rightfully so. The fox icon is quite adorable.

Matthias Gille

Matthias uses a simple set of social icons along with a brief description of his work. These types of portfolios are what you need when just getting online, or when redesigning your portfolio to update with a new layout.

Ian Grivois

Ian uses lots of great typography mixed with various typefaces. The style is very elegant which makes everything easier to read and consume.

Alan Power

Alan also includes some big typography which is thicker and more attentive in comparison. But I’d say it works for his style of portfolio, and it certainly does get attention.

Leanne Kawahigashi

This is a very simple responsive layout designing with a grid in mind. It comes back to numbers and ratios when designing a portfolio in this style.

Abdus Salam

I really like the header and content style on this page. The only qualm I have is the navigation can be tough to use, but it looks nice mixed into the color scheme.

Andrew Lucas

Andrew focuses mostly on typography and details on his work to gather attention. It’s a great example of simple design coupled with a personal connection.

Stuart Regan

Stuart has a very similar website featuring social links and some details about himself. It’s probably the most minimal website you could expect for any creative designer.

Daniel Paul

Talk about a unique experiene! Daniel’s portfolio is like a v-card design where you switch between pages using Ajax. Everything is right on the homepage and easily accessible.

Jacqui Oakley

Jacqui uses ornamental borders to divide between this 3-column layout. She is an illustrator and I feel this style reflects perfectly on the type of work she does.

Michelle Ouellette

Michelle also does illustration work and her site uses more of a creative typography. It’s much simpler yet the work is still centered and easy to access.

Neil J Rook

Neil has quite a different idea mixed into traditional portfolio layouts. Vector icons and colorful backgrounds help the content bounce off the screen. It almost feels too real and the textures are phenomenal.

Lauren Bearpark

I like this design for a more personal touch. Lauren has a fixed left sidebar with information on herself and her work. Then the right sidebar scrolls down with her projects and preview shots.

Clint Tabone

Clint’s fading effect is natural and elegant. Everything comes into view at an even tone and looks spectacular. I would recommend taking a look at his style to see how it compares with other portfolios.

Galynka Boychuk

Dark yet intriguing – this portfolio has a number of handdrawn elements that look spectacular. If you love that hand-drawn style you should take a look at this site to gather some ideas.

Kevin Halley

Kevin’s website is clean and very easy to navigate. Only a couple links in the sidebar while all his work is showcased right on the homepage.

A similar style can be found here by Huseyin Yilmaz. He includes a photograph of himself along with more details on the homepage. This is always a nice touch to make each visit more personal.

Jon Rundle

Jon uses a green color scheme with dark and light text mixed onto the background. His work is stunning and looks fantastic in the grid display.

Andrew Colin Beck

Andrew’s website is simple yet elegant in nature. Each of the projects are listed in a grid and stacked onto the homepage for easy access.

It’s a much simpler design than you might expect, but it does work exactly as you’d expect. Navigation flows and the text is easy to read.

Sasha Lantukh

Sasha’s logo is very creative and I really like the typography. It may be a little small in the header, but the page itself features everything you would expect. And the header will auto-hide when scrolling down only to reappear on your way back up.

Frilli has some creative branding that I really enjoy. A few dynamic elements on the page along with an easy-to-navigate header section.

Chris Wharton

Chris has embraced the flat design trend with much success. His portfolio is clean but not too minimal, and uses lots of colors which blend together nicely.

Sjoerd Dijkstra

The parallax style on this website can be a little intimidating. I think it could use a bit more space, but overall it’s a very neat effect which showcases creativity.

My favorite part here is the large header background. It uses some nice colors and stands out from the rest of the page. Nice design style and very easy to navigate.

Gibran Villela

Probably one of my favorite illustration portfolios for the animation effects. His texture and colors are brilliant, and his portfolio is full of amazing work.

Boris Lechaftois

This portfolio takes a new shift on the idea of left-hand navigation. The main site is separated from the sidebar yet it all seems to flow naturally into one layout design.

Robin Sheldon

Robin Sheldon uses the more traditional 2-col layout for his illustration work. It’s focused on Ajax while still offering pages for contact information.

John Costello

John’s website is minimalist with a focus on typography. The light color scheme is easy to distinguish and provides a simple background for the dynamic content.

Valentina Sanders

This is a much more free-flowing portfolio layout without a whole lot of structure. I like the design because it’s simpl but certainly not for everyone.

Mike Busby

Mike’s typography is something to write home about. The dark layout provides an excellent backdrop for his style.

Anil is a wonderfully creative illustrator using her talent to design such an awesome portfolio. All of her work samples are extraordinary and the header design is especially pleasing.

Pascal Gartner

Pascal has a real simple flat website layout using animated page effects. He primarly does development work but you can tell he has a good taste in design. The website is simple and very easy to skim through.

Erik Frick

Erik’s homepage uses an infinite loading effect to add more entries onto the page. Once you reach the bottom more portfolio items will be loaded into view. It’s a tricky effect which doesn’t always work – but I really like it on his site and it could work well on yours, too.

Edmund Reed

Here’s a very dark yet detailed website including a lot of animated effects. At some points I feel there is too much dynamic content to the point where is slows down the website. But overall he’s created an outstanding effect and the layout does look extravagant.
