Successful portfolio: be simple, and people will reach for you!

As a rule, first of all, the client is interested in what we can do for him. Secondly, how much it will cost him. At the same time it is logical that the price strongly depends on our capabilities, but often not directly, but in the context of how we demonstrate our capabilities - creative and technical. In other words, what our portfolio is, both in content and in expression.


What is the best way to present examples of your work? Practically all web developers ask this question when creating their own website. There are many options. The most popular ways to present:
1) chronologically (general list by date of creation or by year);
2) by customers (often highlighting the most branded);
3) on projects (especially if several projects are carried out for one client),
4) by types of sites (eg, portals, online stores, corporate sites, etc.);
5) by thematic sections (for example, by customer business areas);
6) for certain types of work (for example, design development, programming, etc.),

Someone scrupulously notes all the work performed, someone shows only some of the most glamorous successful with "success stories" or reviews from customers. Someone gives detailed descriptions of projects with goals, tasks, the process of creation, used technologies, someone simply puts out screenshots and gives links or even without links - just small non-informative screenshots or icons. There are those who offer to download a presentation with a portfolio.
