50 Excellent Designer Portfolio Sites
By Steven Snell | December 8th, 2008 in Inspiration
One of the first posts on DesignM.ag was 101 Awesome Portfolio Sites, which drew an excellent response from readers. Many of the current readers/subscribers weren’t around at that point, so if you enjoy seeing examples of excellent portfolio sites I encourage you to take a look.
In the past few months I’ve seen a number of outstanding portfolio sites that weren’t included in that post, so I put together this collection of another 50.
UPDATE: We recently launched a gallery dedicated to showcasing the best portfolio sites – Folio Focus.

excellent collection, every portfolio site has unique taste and feel – nice inspiration.
once again a very inspiring list.
Some nicely designed sites here.
This is a nice little cross section, but none of them can still hold a candle to the two year old OkayDave.com – Dave Werner’s Portfolio from 2006.
very nice inspiring list thanks..
Nice list, I’m almost ashamed of my own site lol.
many are nice but it would be nice to see all custom, not some wp templates in here
Lisa,
I’m not aware of any that are un-customized WP themes. That’s not to say that none of them are, there are so many themes I can’t keep up.
Great collection. Thanks you very much !
Good mix of inspiring sites. Could I get some honest criticism of my own site from anyone reading this? Thanks! Twitter: @mccambridge
Excellent selection of porfolio designs here!
Nice selection !!
While workin’ on my own folio i found a great place dedicated to folios : http://www.foliostars.net
Great for inspiration too…
some nice sites, but really the title should have read “50 excellent wordpress portfolio sites” as they all look the same.
Very impressive list, showing a wide range of thought and as well as the limitations of what we expect web sites to look like.
Nice list, some really great sites. Especially Digital Mash, Ploc Media, Matt Dempsey. All inspiring.
Many thanks for featuring our site!!!
Excellent collection. I love seeing how different everyone’s site is and how many unique things people come up with, great for inspiration.
Thanks for the feature, great to be put with other such good websites
Excellent for inpiration!! Thanks…
Thanks for featuring Hambo Development
Naturally it is built with ExpressionEngine.
Thanks for the feature!
Thanks for posting us as a Top 50!
chow.
very impressive list, however you should consider adding illustrator and designer Kevin Cornell’s website, its fabulously designed. http://www.bearskinrug.co.uk
Very good!!! Impressive. Excellent taste.
wow!
Thanks, I like Hutch House, the giraffes are clever. But almost everything else looks like the same tired Web 2.0 design.
@Dave G – thanks for the link to Dave Werners site, it’s the best portfolio I can think of. His videos are way ahead of the game!
I have my portfolio on my website http://rileyjbriggs.com/. hopefully it will be as good as these in a few years. what do you guys think?
Hi and thanks for talking about Two December ! Great selection by the way
While an old post listed sites still look fresh, inspiring selection
Love the Phunk N’ Creative site. All he needs is a blog. The “Ploc Media” site is also very nice and clean. Thanks for the collection.
Absolutely great list.
Serves for a great deal of inspiration.
Just redesigned my portfolio: masedesign.com
