I. Pick your Purpose:
The most notable reason for creating an online portfolio is to have quick and easy access to your best works from nearly any location. Having an organized and eye-catching design portfolio can easily turn a chance meeting with a stranger into an interview for a potential client or employer. A well-designed website can also set you apart from the thousands of other designers looking for work by showcasing your personal style and design abilities in a unique way.
