How to structure your online portfolio.

Before getting started, take some time to think about the story your portfolio will tell. Draft a paragraph or two that provides insight into you as a person and your career goals or ambitions. Then compile your best photos, videos, graphics, and links to include on your site to give your audience a full understanding of your accomplishments and capabilities. Don’t forget to include contact info in easy-to-find places so that your readers know how to reach you once they get inspired by your work.
