How to Make a Portfolio Website

Every artist, model, photographer, designer, and developer need a portfolio to be taken seriously. The only way a potential client or employer can tell what caliber of work you do is to look at your previous work. Well, doesn't it make sense to build a website to store all of this work. With a portfolio website, all your potential clients or employers have to do is log on and see all of your information. They can even contact you directly from that page. In this article, I will show you simple steps to make a free website for your portfolio.

Step 1. Sign up for a free website

At http://webstarts.com, you can make a free website and get online immediately. Sign up is quick and easy and you do not have to provide your credit card number unless you want to upgrade your account.

Step 2. Add your content

Make sure your best content is featured on the home page. You want to wow your visitors as soon as they get to the site. If you're a photographer, feature one of your best photos as the background on the home page. If you're an artist, make sure one of your best works is the header on the home page.

Step 3. Add your contact information

Pro plus account users will be able to put a contact form on their page so visitors can enter their contact information and click 'submit' to contact you about your work. All others will have to put an email address or phone number on the site to allow people to contact you. This is the most important step as you do not want to miss the opportunity of being contacted for work when you went through all the trouble of putting together a portfolio.
