10 Portfolio Websites that Will Make You Say Wow Posted: 24 Jan 2014 06:00 AM PST Why is it necessary to have a portfolio website? Is it a requisite for all designers? Here are 10 portfolio websites that can lead you to the answers. “Why haven't I thought of that?” Well, those were the first words I uttered when I saw this collection of websites that will make you say wow. I thought it would be great if I will be able to share these to you. The answers to the questions above are very simple. It is necessary for a designer to have a portfolio website because it showcases your talent and provides your future clients with an idea of how good you are. If a prospect client wants to hire you, he will of course want to know what your previous projects are and how efficient you were on doing it. They will conduct research (Everybody does. Who wants to throw off their precious bucks for people who can't deliver, right?) to have an idea about your professionalism, efficiency, speed and talent. If you don't have a portfolio, where will your clients look? So, why don't we begin looking at these and in the end, just be awed and say Wow! The Toke Viewing the projects in this one is as simple as viewing them in a photo browser. With minimal audio and keyboard shortcuts, this portfolio website is professional looking and sleek. Alex Abramov The designer used the big background photo to serve as map-like design where points in the city were made to represent the page you will be viewing. Zuppaduppa This doodle-looking portfolio looks both cute and magnificent. Using Parallax to enable horizontal scrolling, this portfolio simply amazes me. Insidepiet Talk about being creative and interactive! This website rocks. With the cool background music and the transitions, it proves to be one amazing portfolio. M-1 Design Mouse-responsive motion, this website eats it like a piece of cake. Using clever and surreal designs with great transitions, you’d want something like this. IE Studio Simplicity is the main reason behind this website’s beauty. Nothing beats the minimalist. Check out the artistic use of images both of which are photographic and computer generated. Harlo Some things are more beautiful when naked. This website is a great manifestation of it. It is the simplest form of  being simple. No flashy effects, just the off-white colors blended with the occasional red will surely equal to an amazing portfolio website. Vitor This mixed the simplistic and minimalistic designs with great effects. Eyegasmic, this site is easy to understand and navigate. Guided Creative This one amped up retro designs with the flat design trends creating a bright blue beauty. R Leonardi Love interaction? This one interacts with you like a video game. With its clever use of animation and transitions, you’ll find yourself browsing to the last page just to see how it finishes. Conclusion Portfolio websites like these serve as inspirations for web designers to continue to hone their talents. Having a great portfolio website is almost tantamount to a great work. Of course, if you are able to design projects which are eye-popping, it is both necessary and obvious that you should have a great portfolio to hold them off. WOW! Right? What do you think?
