To build a successful website for your business or personal brand, you need:

Your Unique Story

When clients and customers are connecting with a creator, they want to know more about why they create. They want to know their story because when you’re buying from a creator or hiring a creator, it’s as much about the person as it is the end product. Similarly, when vying for a new role or promotion, you want to stand out and inspired confidence and trust in your abilities.

Work Samples and Examples

Show off your past work and demonstrate your skills, talents, and abilities. Your personal portfolio page is your global stage and you need to own it. Provide examples of your accomplishments and samples of your work. It doesn’t matter if you share your work in video, audio, text, or images. What matters is that people get a chance to see what you can do and what you can create.

Testimonials and Social Proof

When someone is investing in creative work, buying a handmade product, or considering hiring you to help them achieve a goal, they want to feel confident in their decision. They want to know they’ll receive quality. The easiest way to do that is to highlight testimonials kind words, and praise from past clients and customers, notable people, and even media outlets if you have them.

Stories and Case Studies

Creative portfolios full of visuals look amazing, but other than impress people with stunning images or screenshots they don’t do much other than communicate your style. Stories and case studies are what brings the visuals to life and show people what could be possible. Case studies walk potential clients, customers, and employers from problem or challenge to the solution and show how you can help them too. For each case study, provide context, your role, challenges you faced, and the solutions you implemented. Explain the problem you were trying to solve and how your work addressed it. Include images, videos, or interactive elements to showcase your projects effectively.

Powerful Calls to Action

A successful online portfolio needs to inspire people and get them to take action. But what happens when they’re ready to hire you, book you, buy a product, or ask a question? Every page of your online portfolio needs to include a compelling call to action that provides a clear, obvious, and inviting next step. Tell people what to do next and make it easy and more people will take action.

Your Contact Information

Some people who visit your online portfolio will want to speak with you or ask questions before they hire you, book you, buy from you, promote you, or sign up for your email list. Provide your contact information or a simple contact form that they can fill out to book a call, ask a question, to connect with you. Creators need to be available to help fans feel comfortable taking the next step.

Your Opinions, Perspectives, and Daily Life

When creating an online portfolio, consider adding a blog. A blog is a great place to not only share news and new creations, but to share your thoughts and opinions on your industry. It’s a place to give your audience behind the scenes peeks at your process, glimpses into your creator space, and insights into how you think, work, collaborate. It’s a platform that helps you give context to your portfolio

Intuitive Design

Maintain a consistent design throughout your website, including colors, typography, and layout. A unified, minimalist design creates a professional and polished appearance. Use whitespace effectively to prevent clutter and make your content easier to read and navigate. Arrange your content in a logical and organized manner that guides visitors through your portfolio. Establish a clear visual hierarchy by using size, color, and placement to emphasize important elements such as project titles, headings, and calls-to-action. Finally, ensure your website looks and functions well on various devices and screen sizes. A responsive design adapts to different screen dimensions, providing a seamless user experience.

What is the best way to create a portfolio website?

The combination of WordPress, Mai Theme, and Mai Engine provides you with unmatched power and flexibility—the optimal foundation for creating your portfolio website. We choose WordPress to build on because we love how it puts business owners in control of all of their content, from the words on the page, to images, video, and audio content. With Mai Theme and WordPress, it’s so user-friendly and feature-rich that you can make changes on the fly without needing to engage an expensive web designer or worry about custom code.

What is the best page builder or website builder for a portfolio website?

You don’t need to buy another thing, like a third-party website builder, to create an amazing website you’re proud of and excited to market. With the WordPress block editor, you get all the functionality and ease of a website builder, without the limitations of typical drag and drop page builders. Customize to your heart’s content—with the easy to use visual composer and theme customizer—and create something that is truly unique to your brand. (However, if you really want to use a page builder plugin like Beaver Builder or Elementor, you still can with Mai Theme.)

Can I use free WordPress themes for my portfolio website?

While it is possible to use free themes for your portfolio website, it is generally a better idea to consider premium WordPress themes. Premium themes, like Mai Theme, offer more advanced features, customization options, and dedicated support, which can greatly benefit your brand and provide a more professional appearance. Investing in a premium theme can enhance your branding, user experience, and overall online presence.

Do you have examples of portfolio websites I can look at?

Yes! We love to show off what other business owners, entrepreneurs, consultants, agencies, and creative professionals have built using Mai Theme. The beauty of Mai Theme is that it is flexible enough to be applied to any niche, while still offering extensive features and customization options that put you in control.
