Portfolio Essentials Checklist
What your portfolio actually needs to have
A clear homepage that explains what you do
Within 5 seconds, someone should understand your specialty. Web design for e-commerce? Branding and web together? Say it upfront.
3-5 real projects with actual context
Not just pretty screenshots. Show what the client needed, what you did differently, and what happened afterward. Results matter more than aesthetics.
A real bio with actual details
Don’t write “passionate designer.” Tell us: how long you’ve been designing, what types of clients you work with, and one thing you’re known for.
Easy way to get in touch
Email link, contact form, or WhatsApp button. Make it simple for people who like your work to actually reach you.
Fast load time and clean code
Your portfolio is your resume. If it takes 8 seconds to load, people will leave. Test on slow internet (it matters in Malaysia).
