Each project in your portfolio should have a brief and informative description that explains what the project is, what problem it solves, what technologies and tools you used, and what challenges you faced and how you overcame them. You can also include your role and responsibilities if you worked in a team, and any feedback or results you received from the project. Use bullet points, headings, or
tags to make your descriptions easy to read and scan.
###### Provide links and screenshots
Your portfolio should not only tell, but also show your work. Provide links to the live version of your projects, as well as the source code on GitHub or other platforms. This way, potential employers or clients can see your work in action and evaluate your code quality and style. You should also include screenshots or videos of your projects to give a visual overview of your design and functionality. Make sure your screenshots are clear, high-quality, and responsive.
###### Add testimonials and contact details
Your portfolio should also include some social proof and a way to get in touch with you. Testimonials are a great way to showcase your credibility and value as a developer. You can ask for feedback from your previous employers, clients, mentors, or peers, and include their name, title, and photo if possible. You should also provide your contact details, such as your email, phone number, social media profiles, or online resume. Make it easy for your visitors to reach out to you and start a conversation.
###### Keep it updated and consistent
Your portfolio is not a static document, but a dynamic reflection of your growth and development. You should regularly update your portfolio with new projects, skills, or achievements that showcase your current level and interests. You should also keep your portfolio consistent with your personal brand and style. Use the same colors, fonts, logos, and tone across your portfolio and other online platforms. This way, you can create a memorable and professional impression and stand out from the crowd.
