20 Most Creative Online Portfolio Designs
Every designer knows that portfolio is the only way to introduce you and your works to the potential clients. And it is not only about the works you put into it, but at least 50 percent of the impression is made by the very design of your portfolio. And just like the quality of your design describes you as a specialist, the style and conception of your portfolio can tell a lot about your creativity and personality. This is a reason why designers seek to have a unique, creative and interesting portfolio design.
And there is such a variety of creative web designs for portfolios, that it is hard to choose 20 or 30 best designs. Besides that, designs differ by the type of the portfolio, for example photographers portfolios are likely to have one type of gallery, and web design portfolios – another one. In spite that you still can find a lot of top lists and reviews on this topic.
It is useless to try to determine which of the following portfolio websites has the best design and which one will be on the second place, so I just tried to select 20 web designs that are either very creative and have a unique feature or simply look very elegant.
This website makes a visitor stay on the page and play around with the menu and pictures.
In fact, it is not that much about website design, as about the graphic design works, presented on the page.
Nice graphics on the background work very well for a graphic design company.
Grey and pink web page looks good. Also has nice drawings.
The disposition of the blocks on the page is not very usual though easy to use.
The most wonderful thing about this web portfolio is the creative design for the themes and that a visitor can easily switch between them.
Perfectly elegant and pleasant to look at.
A sky theme in design of the web page is probably the easiest way to make your website look beautiful.

When working on the portfolio website you always need to take into consideration the audience you target on. Whether you use a portfolio design template or not, the main thing you’ve got to care about is how attractive and recognizable your web page will be. And the most creative websites are the ones that do not even need a gallery to describe who you are.
You are right, it is really hard to choose which one is the best, they all differ, have unique design and their own style.
Thanks for including me on the list! I do like some of the other examples as well…
