How to Achieve that Exemplary Portfolio Website

A portfolio is one of the best representations that you can have if you wanted to attract clients. While most of the clients would ask for your resume, they will just see it through as a side wink, what they are really looking for to make yourself more attractive to them is to send them proofs that you are legit and capable of doing the skills you mentioned in your resume. And that is what we call, portfolio.

The most convincing portfolio that you present to a potential client is your website. An exemplary portfolio website is what gets you seated in the world of hiring. So if this is a representation, how do you really display skills and credentials on your portfolio to make it considerably exemplary?

Stand out from the crowd by achieving these steps:

Step 1: Set an Objective

Planning ahead is important in building your own portfolio website. Through your set of plans, determine certain objectives that could help you run through all your targets especially in impressing your audience or your target clients.

Your website must showcase what you can really offer. You should display your skills, or if you are into selling, your goods or services attractively and relate your branding corresponding to it. You may start with a simple portfolio, and you can improve gradually as you progress in building your website.

On your homepage, be straightforward about your branding. Make everything relative from colors to fonts, to images, videos, and texts you are displaying. Display your introduction, your mission, your vision, your core values, and never forget your catchy introduction. All of this basic information will showcase your objective.

Step 2: Layout a Design of Your Website

There are two choices in designing a website. With either of these two choices, you can have your client see who you are and what you are offering. Below are the two most common types of websites which you can use to introduce your portfolio.

Single-Page Portfolio Website

A single-page portfolio is actually the most advisable portfolio website. You can showcase all your skills, personal information, and introduction to a single page which can be convenient to your potential client.

Multiple-Page Portfolio Website

A multiple-page portfolio can be a strong one for you as well. This includes different landing pages which will showcase your skills, information, and introduction all in different categories per page. This might cause inconvenience to some of your potential clients, however, this will as well showcase your ability to beautify your website, your skills in building landing pages, and even give a hint that you can build a website with different elements.

Clients love to see portfolios that answer all the questions in their minds. So if you can showcase your skills and potentials on one page or multiple pages, that will depend on you.

Never forget to embed the link of your website to the social media platforms that you have as well.

Step 3: Build Your Portfolio Website

Now that you are able to define your objectives, and able to layout your design, it’s time to finally put that design into reality. Build your website.

There are two choices in building a website:

  1. Through coding

Web developers always do this one because they are the monsters of coding. They love to build websites from scratch. And if the website is all about them and what they can offer, they usually manipulate it through coding. This way they can showcase their services or their products vividly because they are the creator of their own portfolio website. They have the freedom when it comes to designs and data manipulation.

You may want to do this type of website building if you like.

  1. Through website builders

An example of this is the templated websites. You will have a variety of choices, all in one website builder. Make sure to choose the template that suits your branding. An example of this is WordPress, Wix, SquareOne, etc. These website builders come with both paid and free subscriptions. All you have to do is to define what you want, what you offer, who you are, and what are your skills about.

Website builders are very helpful especially if you are a beginner or someone without knowledge in coding.

Both ways can help you showcase yourself in a most commendable and exemplary way of promoting yourself.

Step 4: Define your Highlights

Are you someone with a specific thing to offer or someone full of varieties when it comes to products and services? Whichever it is, you need to define your highlights.

Highlight important information that would catch the attention of your clients. You may illustrate all the necessary data that would help your clients identify what products or services are you concentrating on. With that, they can decide whether to pursue and go for conversion or not.

Your highlights will help your potential clients identify the kind of business you are dealing with your audience. Example:

Describe your services/products

Put a little something in everything. Do you get what I mean? Put some necessary description relative to what you are offering. Give the basic details that are sure to become a trigger of inquiries.

Step 5: Construct your About Section carefully

Your ABOUT section is your chance to get noticed, be careful what you write in here. It should showcase your legitimacy, authenticity, and your personal information.

You may narrate a little background story about you and your business. Give examples of historical experiences that you have when you build your business, how did you come up with all your designs, colors, and logo. And other things that are result-driven which can attract your potential clients to pursue you.

You may also display your awards, rewards, achievements, and remarkable accomplishments which would absolutely help your business get noticed. You may paste your seal of remarks on your website to make it more look attractive to your audience.

Step 6: Never forget the CTA (Call-To-Action)

We may get fed up with the BUY NOW, ADD TO CART, PLACE ORDER, SUBSCRIBE NOW, BOOK NOW, etc. but you can assure that your audience will really love it. Because CTA gives them easier access to move forward and convert.

Make your CTAs visible as always. It is a must to always put them on.

Step 7: Watch out for your UI/UX, and User Accessibility

Make your website easy to navigate so that UI and UX won’t be a problem next. An accessible website is user-friendly. That is what your audience wanted to explore. Never have something that would shoo all your potential clients away.

Choose colors that are complementary and pleasing to the eyes. There are elements that you can use to come up with your user interface better and would generate a commendable user experience. With that, you just made your converts into fans.
