55 live design portfolios

Every one is a live site run by a designer working with clients and studios. Browse them, then build yours.

Free for 15 days. No card needed.

Every design website example below is a live site, run by a designer working with clients and studios, not a mockup or a best-of pick. Filter by discipline, or scroll and see what stops you.

The portfolios that work tend to make the same decisions well. Seven worth borrowing before you build yours.

Show fewer pieces than you want to

The strongest portfolios show fewer projects than the designer has available. Every project added has to earn its place.

Lead with one strong image, not a menu

Open on a strong piece of work rather than a menu, and put contact within one click of every page.

Put contact one click from everywhere

Make it easy for visitors to reach you. Contact details should be accessible from every page without navigation.

A portfolio on a social platform belongs to that platform. A portfolio website carries your domain, your layout and your contact details.

Split the nav by discipline, not by client

A designer who works across identity, product and motion reads as three different hires when the nav is a client list, and as one clear proposition when it is a discipline list.

Lead with the problem, not the artefact

A buyer who can see what the brief was can price the work. A buyer looking at a finished logo with no context is guessing.

Depth for process, scrolls for products

Give a project its own page when the thinking is the sell, and one scroll when the image is. Case study depth wins interviews for product and UX work.

A design portfolio does not have to stop at showing work. On Pixpa the same site can sell products, deliver client work and publish alongside the gallery, without stitching separate tools together.

Store, zero commission

Sell prints, template packs, presets or digital files from the same site, and keep the full sale price. Stripe and PayPal connect directly, and Pixpa takes no cut of any transaction on any plan.

Send a project set to a client as a private gallery instead of a file link that expires. Clients mark favourites, leave comments, and download at the size you set, which is how most architecture and interior practices here hand over shoot results and drawings.

Publish process notes, project write-ups or studio news on the same domain as the portfolio, which is the part search engines index and keep returning to.

Trusted by working designers

Designers arriving here most often come from a general-purpose website builder. What they talk about afterwards is how much of the site they can actually control.

The ready-made templates are modern and customizable, allowing me to showcase my portfolio in a very stylish way.

I found it to have more varied templates than other platforms. Everything is fully customizable.

A design portfolio is a curated set of a designer's work, presented so that someone who has never met them can decide whether to hire them. For most working designers it is a website rather than a PDF, because a link stays current between pitches and an attachment does not.

Selective. The design portfolio examples on this page tend to open on one strong piece of work rather than a menu, keep the project count well below what the designer could show, and put contact within one click of every page. Where the thinking is the sell, each project gets its own page. Where the image carries it, one scroll is enough.

There is no fixed number and the examples here vary. The pattern worth noticing is that the strongest portfolios show fewer projects than the designer has available. A reviewer skimming your site will judge you on the weakest piece as readily as the best one, so every project you add has to earn its place.

A design portfolio is the body of work. A design portfolio website is where it lives at a URL you own. The distinction matters commercially: a portfolio on a social platform or a hosted community page belongs to that platform, while a portfolio website carries your domain, your layout and your contact details.

Graphic design, UX and product design, architecture, interior design, and multimedia and motion design. The filter above narrows the grid to one discipline, and each discipline also has its own collection with a fuller set of examples.

Yes. Every site in the grid is a live portfolio belonging to a working designer or studio using Pixpa. None of them are mockups or demo content, and each card links through to the site as it runs today.

Yes. Each card names the template the site was built on, and you can open that template and start from the same layout. Designers customise from there with their own type, colour and custom CSS, which is why two sites on one template rarely look alike.

Pick a template from any site on this page and you are already most of the way there. 15-day trial, no card needed, 30-day money-back if it is not right.
