50 Excellent Designer Portfolio Sites
By Steven Snell | Published December 8th, 2008 in InspirationOne 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.
For more design inspiration, see:
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

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.

Thanks, I like Hutch House, the giraffes are clever. But almost everything else looks like the same tired Web 2.0 design.

Hi all! Great site very useful!
I really appreciate a good design and in fact, I recently visited a great user friendly website. Out There Interiors . Nice company too! They sell a variety of mirrored furniture . I just love the ease at which you can move around the site and easily view the different types of furniture including silver furniture . Perfect uncomplicated place to buy french furniture .
