Portfolio Of An Artist: Why You Need One?



The best way to market yourself as an artist is to make yourself a quality portfolio website!

It helps you to showcase your talents and work, attracting more customers and increasing your chances to start receiving your dream job!

It is crucial that your site is easy to use and allows visitors to quickly order your services. But if you really want your portfolio to stand out, you should create a design that looks like a piece of art that your visitors would fall in love with!

We want to reveal the main reasons why you need such a type of online presence and give you some proven tips for creating the right website design.

Also, we will show you high-quality artist portfolio web-designs using Weblium website builder site prototypes as an example. At any moment, you can pick up any design you love and create your fascinating artist portfolio website using Weblium.

4 main reasons to make a portfolio website:

• building a personal brand;
• creating a competitive advantage;
• improving your image, positioning yourself as a professional;
• showcasing your work and attracting potential customers 24 hours a day, around the world.

Tips for creating a perfect portfolio design

1. Create an engaging first screen

The first screen should be eye-catching and make your visitors want to dive further into your portfolio.

2. Create simple and intuitive navigation
In fact, your website’s visitor should fall in love with your first screen, quickly find your best works and get acquainted with them, and then easily find the corresponding button to contact you to make an order.

By the way, all portfolio templates by Weblium have a well-thought-out structure and navigation, that is perfect for this type of a website.

3. Select the best works and divide them into categories
Yes, that’s a good idea that will help people find what they want in no time!
It is also important to choose works made in different styles to show your versatile skills.

4. Follow the “less is more” principle
That means fewer examples of your works, fewer menu items, fewer words and buttons. Superfluous elements draw visitor’s attention away from evaluating the main thing — your talent.

5. Add clear job descriptions
For each work, add a title and release date. Briefly describe the task you faced and why you chose this particular solution.

This approach shows your professionalism.

6. Show macro photos and details
To showcase some of your works, create photo fragments to show details or make collages to show several works, made in the same style.

Little things like this make the particular case look special!

7. Add testimonials and recommendations
Ask your previous customers for permission to add links to their social media accounts to your website: this will make the testimonials look more realistic!

8. Choose only high-resolution images
High-quality photos not only attract attention, but they look great both on a small smartphone screen and on a large PC monitor.

9. Create a consistent style
Make sure that all of your artwork, background, and design elements are created in a single style and reflect the character of your brand.

Weblium templates are created based on an in-depth study of the top niche sites design, taking into account the most current web design trends.

Additionally, the site builder offers advanced options for detailed design customization to help you to create a unique design.







Portfolio website examples

1. Patrick Jameson, minimalist



It seems like the author of the site loves to play on contrasts!


On the first screen, the website design uses a fascinating dark background with curved lines of abstract shapes. Such a background allows minimalistic works to stand out even more.

2. Jess Richards, food photographer



Even if the background of your site is a combination of dark and white colors, high-quality photos of your works will make it shine with all the colors of the rainbow!

Jess Richards proves this with the help of her website’s design. By the way, there are lots of images of food ingredients, cutlery, wooden work surfaces on the background, freshening up the website design!

3. Amanda Tether, tattoo artist



On the website’s first screen, Amanda uses a gradient background with a photo of one of her best works. Below, there are different colored backgrounds with elements of tattoo designs.

This perfectly emphasizes the single style of the artist’s website!
