Quality Websites For designers

How Many Pages Do I Need For My Portfolio?

First Decide: How Many Galleries?

The heart of any designer website is the portfolio. Your potential clients want to see your work! Some designers websites have a handful of photos and others have hundreds.

Your website can have a single photo gallery with photos from any number of jobs or categories

OR:

You can have separate galleries grouping photos by category or project:

Single Gallery Portfolios. One gallery with photos from various projects is the starting point. However, if you have a good number of quality photos, you should consider multiple individual galleries and separating your portfolio by category. (For example: One gallery for commercial, one for residential)


Separate Galleries For Individual Projects Or Different Types Of Work. Many designer websites have individual galleries for each of their top projects. If you have the photos, 3-6 project galleries is a great start. If you don’t have the photos, one “greatest hits” style portfolio is recommended. Your portfolio will grow over time as you add new projects in the future.

No Photos? No Problem. If you’re just getting started and don’t have photos of your own projects yet, we have a solution for you too.

For designer websites, the starting point is three pages:

  • Home - Welcomes your site visitors

  • Portfolio - Photos of your work

  • Contact - Makes it easy for prospects to reach you


Next: Decide Additional Pages (Optional)

Common additional pages:

  • About - Information about your company

  • Individual Galleries - See above
