If so, I\u2019d love to see it. Leave a link in the comments and show off your stellar work!<br>And if you\u2019re still hungry for more inspiration, check out this post of inspiring <a href=\"https:\/\/millo.co\/20-design-portfolios-you-must-see\">graphic design portfolio sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Design_Portfolio_Tips\">A Few Tips For Making The Most of Your Design Portfolio Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As promised, before I wrap up today, I want to share some of my top tips for making the most of your design portfolio site. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My advice comes from years of working closely with freelance designers on my blog and online community\u2014and from coaching freelance designers on ways to improve their portfolio to ultimately attract, retain, and convert more clients.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designers who understand these critical tips save hours searching even <a href=\"https:\/\/millo.co\/freelance-job-sites\">the best freelance jobs sites<\/a> and, instead, find new clients discover <em>them<\/em> and ultimately reach out to hire <em>them<\/em>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Your portfolio isn\u2019t a place to show off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, your portfolio isn\u2019t just a place to show stunning pictures of your previous work. It\u2019s a place to convince site visitors to become paying clients. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every decision you make should be governed by that important truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Case studies should focus on client results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As in my first piece of advice, when highlighting case studies on your site, keep them simple and sales focused. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point of a case study is not to show how great of a designer you are, but how great you are at helping clients reach their business goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Every page should have at least one way to contact you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire goal of your portfolio site should be to encourage potential clients to contact you. That means that each page should have at least one way to contact you\u2026 maybe more. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can come in the form of contact buttons, listed phone numbers, chat modules, visible email addresses or actual contact forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Every link that\u2019s <em>not<\/em> for contacting you is a chance to lose a new client<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time you link somewhere that doesn\u2019t encourage site visitors to contact you is a chance for them to click away from your site and never return. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means if you have links in your navigation, header, or footer that take people to behance, twitter, facebook, or instagram (some of the most distracting sites on the internet), you\u2019ll most likely lose your potential clients to distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Take your site visitors on a journey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone visits your site, your goal should be to send them on a journey toward becoming a new client. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This journey could include getting to know you as a professional and person, learning more about how you can benefit them, exploring your previous work, and should end with an opportunity to take action\u2014preferably contacting you for a quote or further information.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That&#8217;s It For Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, that\u2019s all I\u2019ve got. I hope the samples and tips can help you take your design portfolio to the next level. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t registered your own custom .design domain name, <a href=\"http:\/\/porkbun.com\">you really should do that as quickly as possible<\/a> before someone else snatches up your perfect domain.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, keep up the hard work and good luck converting those portfolio site visitors into paying clients that can grow your business and give you projects you truly enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>===<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preston Lee is a designer &amp; blogger who founded Millo and helps creatives who <a href=\"https:\/\/millo.co\/i-hate-my-job\">hate their day jobs<\/a> start freelancing and grow their business.
