Some use a simple one-page layout, while others turn the whole site into an interactive experience.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&rsquo;s no single format you need to follow. Your portfolio should reflect the kind of work you do and the clients or employers you want to attract. A front-end developer might use animation to demonstrate their skills, while a full-stack developer might put more focus on projects, technical details, and results.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 25 examples below take different approaches to layout, navigation, project presentation, and personal style. As you go through them, look for ideas that suit your own work rather than trying to copy an entire site.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-charles-bruyerre\">1.

Max B&ouml;ck (#16), for example, combines his portfolio with open-source code and writing, while Lee Robinson (#25) brings together work that already lives on other platforms.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leave out anything that doesn&rsquo;t help someone understand what you can do. That includes generic school assignments with no clear purpose, skills you&rsquo;ve barely used, and screenshots that don&rsquo;t explain what you actually built.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-makes-a-good-web-developer-portfolio\">What makes a good web developer portfolio?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good web developer portfolio makes your work easy to explore and uses a design that suits the kind of work you want to be hired for.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The design supports the work you want to show.<\/strong> Bruno Simon (#3) uses 3D throughout his site, while Paco Coursey (#12) relies mostly on text and links to shipped products. Both approaches make sense for the work they want visitors to notice. Your<a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/how-to-design-a-website\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"> <\/a><a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/how-to-design-a-website\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">website design<\/a> should put that work first rather than compete with it.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The portfolio works well on phones.<\/strong> Projects, navigation, demos, and contact details should remain easy to use on a smaller screen. Test the site on an actual phone before publishing it, especially if you use animation, unusual navigation, or interactive elements. Mobile usability and speed are also part of<a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/what-makes-a-good-website\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"> <\/a><a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/what-makes-a-good-website\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">what makes a good website<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The site reflects your work and personality.<\/strong> Lynn Fisher (#5) redesigns her portfolio around a new visual idea each year, while Josh Comeau (#18) adds interactive code examples, sounds, and his QWER drum machine. You don&rsquo;t need that level of experimentation, but the visual choices and interactions should feel connected to the work you do.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-start-your-web-developer-portfolio\">How to start your web developer portfolio<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start your web developer portfolio with two or three strong projects, a short introduction, and a clear way for people to contact you.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pick a tool you already know, or use a<a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/best-portfolio-website-builders\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"> <\/a><a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/best-portfolio-website-builders\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">portfolio website builder<\/a> if you&rsquo;d rather focus on the content than code the site yourself.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, choose<a href=\"\/my\/web-hosting\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"> <\/a><a href=\"\/my\/web-hosting\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">a web hosting plan<\/a> and register a custom domain, such as yourname<a href=\"\/my\/tld\/dev-domain\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">.dev<\/a> or yourname.com.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then add your strongest work and publish the site. You can change the design, replace projects, and add more sections as your career develops. For instance, Braydon Coyer (#4) regularly rebuilds his portfolio, but you don&rsquo;t need a complete redesign to keep yours current.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your first version only needs to show your best work for now. As you complete stronger projects, replace the older ones and keep the portfolio focused on what you want to do next.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"\/my\/web-hosting\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Web-hosting_in-text-banner.png\/public\" alt=\"Hostinger web hosting banner\" class=\"wp-image-98604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/my\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/11\/Web-hosting_in-text-banner.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/my\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/11\/Web-hosting_in-text-banner-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/my\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/11\/Web-hosting_in-text-banner-150x44.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/my\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/11\/Web-hosting_in-text-banner-768x225.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best web developer portfolio examples make it easy to see what a developer does, what they can build, and what makes their work different.
