It’s time to redo my portfolio and I’m looking for some inspiration. I’m a usability/product designer, but I’ll take any ideas. What are your favorite portfolios? Or share yours if you dare.

keep it simple and dont waste the visitors' time. these recruiters have to look at hundreds of portfolios. wasting just a second on an animation or long load time can be enough for them to move on to the next one. your website should be the place to show off your work, not be the work.
small introduction on the top, then two colums with large thumbnails that entice and lead to its page. each project page shouldnt need more than a small description. picture = 1000x words
good luck :)

Is a portfolio website really necessary if I'm not gonna use it for applying for a job vacancy? Like, I was planning to apply for some gigs on platforms until I got money enough to start a business myself, which is what I'm aiming for.
Platforms usually want me to upload my image files to their own system, so a portfolio website doesn't make itself necessary for doing that. In which cases it's profitable to run a website just for the portfolio itself ratter than using it when applying for jobs in existing businesses?
