Prompts for a portfolio site

Paste one, change the details to yours. Each names what gets stored before it says how anything should look — that is the difference between a working site and a pretty page.

Project portfolio

Designers, developers, studios

Build a portfolio for my work. Home: a short introduction and my best six projects in a grid. Each project gets its own page with images, what the brief was, what I did and the result. Add an about page and a contact page with a short form. Restrained — generous white space, work at full width, typography doing the talking.

Photography portfolio

Photographers who also need to be hired

Build a photography site. Galleries grouped by type of work, each opening full-screen images. An about page, a page with what I charge and what is included, and a contact form asking for the date, the type of shoot and a message. Images lead everything; keep the interface almost invisible.

Writing portfolio

Writers, journalists, copywriters

Build a portfolio for my writing. Home lists my selected pieces with the publication, the date and a one-line summary, newest first. Each piece links out to where it was published. Add an about page with what I write and who I have written for, and a contact page with a short form. Type-led and quiet — the words are the work.
