Portfolio website design is a self-portrait with a deadline — 562 of them here, from designers, developers, photographers and studios who all had to decide what to leave out. Each is a full-page video recording, so you see the whole sequence a visitor gets rather than the hero someone chose to screenshot. The arguments worth watching: how quickly the work appears, since the good ones rarely make you scroll past a manifesto to reach it; whether case studies are a grid or a narrative; and what the about page does with the fact that a portfolio's real subject is a person. The failure mode is a beautiful shell with three placeholder projects in it. Sorted newest first.
