Why You Need a Portfolio Website for Your Personal Brand

From businesses, internet personalities, creatives, artists, creators, performers, to freelance designers and writers— everyone maintains a repository of their best work in some shape or form. In a digital first world that we live in, it is important to also create a space on the internet to showcase their body of work. It is one of the easiest ways for someone looking to access your services to connect with you. 

Make your first impression an unforgettable one with a portfolio website

What is a portfolio website, really. You are not the first person to wonder things, not will the last, and that we’re certain of. Professionals all around the world are slowing discovering the potential of a well-curated portfolio website that goes beyond just a logbook of your work. Through a portfolio website, you can use different facets of your personality to present your skillset to the world. Where a portfolio would essentially be a one-to-one sharing model— limiting your access to only those you wish to share it with, a portfolio website opens your audience reach significantly. 

What it takes to create an impressive portfolio website. 

Much like a regular website on the brand selling products, your portfolio website is selling something too— your personal brand. It’s therefore very important that you partner with someone who will help you walk through this process of identifying this with you and build a website that reflects your most authentic self. 

For those venturing into this for the first time, be mindful of a few important things. 

1. The web development agency or partner you choose must understand what you’re unique offering to the world is

2. They must display their internet to partner with you— brainstorm, ideate, guide and partner with you

3. See if they can walk the talk— they may be great ideas-people but if they don’t help you implement your website in action, it would have all been for no gains!
