Squarespace tops our list because of its design-oriented approach, and the range of beautiful templates available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our experts recently reviewed the top website builders on the market and, unsurprisingly found Squarespace scored particularly highly for its design functions. We gave it <strong>4.7 out of 5<\/strong> &ndash; meaning it just pips Wix to the top spot.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What&rsquo;s more, it offers multiple presentation formats, and every template is mobile responsive, meaning your photography website will automatically be reconfigured for mobile users. Time for a refresh? Squarespace also allows you to change your template at any time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re new to the platform, you can also get a 10% discount when <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-pricing\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">signing up<\/a> if you use the code SU10 at checkout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve uploaded your work to the builder, you can use Squarespace&rsquo;s extensive on-site editing tools to tweak, crop, and filter your image until it&rsquo;s perfectly formatted. Then you can adjust the display style and settings to decide how prominent each image is on the page.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there are near infinite design possibilities, which is why we ranked Squarespace as our number one website for design flexibility in our most recent research.<\/p>\n<p>Squarespace integrates with countless social media platforms as well, making it easier to grow your audience and reach new clients. We were also impressed by the platform&rsquo;s SEO tools, which are easy to find in the editing sidebar. Good SEO is essential for a successful photography website, ensuring it ranks highly for key search terms relating to your imagery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where does it not score well?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Squarespace is an excellent website builder and we scored it highly across each category we looked at in our latest round of testing.<\/p>\n<p>The one category it did not overly-impress in is Ease of use, as its more sophisticated tools and capabilities mean it can be slow to grasp for some new users. However, we still gave it a respectable <strong>four out of five<\/strong> in this group.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read our full <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/websites\/builders\/squarespace-website-builder-review\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Squarespace website builder review<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> here.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wix<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_148603\" style=\"width: 716px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148603\" class=\"size-full wp-image-148603\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-portfolio-example.jpg\" alt=\"Wix portfolio example\" width=\"706\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-portfolio-example.jpg 706w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-portfolio-example-480x310.jpg 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-portfolio-example-640x413.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-portfolio-example-250x160.jpg 250w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-portfolio-example-172x112.jpg 172w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-148603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wix portfolio example<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/Wix-WB-primary\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Wix<\/a> is&nbsp;<strong>a great platform to create your portfolio website on<\/strong>.

For example, if you&rsquo;re an artist, you could separate your work according to the medium (e.g. mixed media, paint, and illustrations).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Images&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">High resolution images are a must &ndash; they should be taken with a high quality camera, or you could hire a photographer to do it for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just keep an eye on the size and formats of images, as well as the overall page size, to avoid slow loading speeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_148379\" style=\"width: 716px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148379\" class=\"wp-image-148379 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Wix-restaurant-example.jpg\" alt=\"Wix restaurant template example\" width=\"706\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Wix-restaurant-example.jpg 706w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Wix-restaurant-example-480x278.jpg 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Wix-restaurant-example-640x371.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Wix-restaurant-example-344x200.jpg 344w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Wix-restaurant-example-133x76.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-148379\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wix food imagery example<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>Descriptions&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Include short descriptions of your work to provide context, explain the process, and detail the results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Features&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider using <\/span><b>hover icons<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on an image so that when a user lands on them, more information can be revealed (e.g. project details).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Squarespace offers this functionality, while Weebly also offers it through the app store for premium plans, at an additional charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A <\/span><b>scrollable gallery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a great way to display many images without taking up lots of space on a page.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, think about if your portfolio will be <\/span><b>static<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or if it will include <\/span><b>animations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. As with hover icons, Weebly offers animation features through a paid-for app on premium plans.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Call to actions (CTAs)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember, a portfolio is also there to help win new clients, so be sure to include CTAs that let people get in contact, buy a product, or request a service.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_127694\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-127694\" class=\"wp-image-127694 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25163809\/katrina-otter-portfolio.jpg\" alt=\"Katrina Otter&rsquo;s portfolio includes a clear, concise and friendly CTA\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-127694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katrina Otter&rsquo;s portfolio includes a clear, concise and friendly CTA<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>Additional pages&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Usually, portfolio websites also include an &lsquo;about you&rsquo; section, which is a great way to show off your personality. As well as this, include contact information to make it easy for people to reach you, as well as help with CTAs, as mentioned above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Builder tools<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, remember to use any tools provided by your chosen portfolio website builder. Often, providers offer functions that can help with SEO (search engine optimisation) so your site can be found more easily.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mobile responsiveness is another common feature, which ensures that your portfolio looks good and functions properly on smartphones and tablets, as well as desktops.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Discover which providers made our list of the <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/websites\/builders\/best-website-builders-uk\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">best website builders for small businesses<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/i>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-ask-for-feedback\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Ask for feedback&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Ask for feedback&rdquo;]\n<h2>Ask for feedback<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you spend a lot of time looking at your own work, it&rsquo;s difficult to be objective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to get additional perspectives on your portfolio, such as the type and range of work you&rsquo;ve included, as well as how it fits together and what it&rsquo;s like to navigate your site.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While friends and family are a great place to start, try and seek out opinions from people who aren&rsquo;t as close to you as well.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tap into your network and ask clients, former coworkers, and other people who work in your industry what they would think of your portfolio if it were to land in their inbox.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only are they more likely to be objective, but they can also give you professional opinions and industry perspectives.&nbsp; <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-consider-print-formats\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Consider print formats&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;6. Consider print formats&rdquo;]\n<h2>6. Consider print formats<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While we&rsquo;ve focused on how to make a portfolio website, there are some instances and certain industries where also having a physical portfolio is a good idea.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, if you&rsquo;re an interior designer and you want to show prospective clients a moodboard, a physical portfolio allows you to include material samples and paint swatches.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Or, if you&rsquo;re a designer who specialises in print work, then it makes sense that you&rsquo;d also have a paper copy of your portfolio, to reflect the medium that you work in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A physical portfolio can also help you to show your innovative thinking when pitching, or if you&rsquo;re looking to stand out from the crowd in general.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-keep-it-updated\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Keep it updated&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;7. Keep it updated&rdquo;]\n<h2>7. Keep it updated<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&rsquo;s easy to think that once you&rsquo;ve made your portfolio, that&rsquo;s it. However, there&rsquo;s more to the process &ndash; a portfolio is an ongoing task, and should be updated accordingly.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only should your work change as and when you have new pieces to include, but the design should too, to reflect wider trends and to avoid your portfolio looking outdated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;A portfolio is often how you make a first impression on potential clients, show off your best work, and give a nod to your personality.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;If you want to stand out and catch someone&rsquo;s eye, it&rsquo;s important to invest time in making your portfolio look good. However, as designers, it&rsquo;s easy for us to get caught up with making our work look great and forget about giving it context.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;Taking the time to plan out your portfolio to showcase different types of work in a user-friendly format, and then captioning each section to give a short explanation can be beneficial for the reader, especially as they might be strapped for time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;Another tip is to always check that your clients are happy for you to include them in your portfolio &ndash; it&rsquo;s always better to be safe than sorry!&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Summary&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When making a portfolio, think about why you&rsquo;re creating it initially &ndash; where are you in your business journey? Setting clear goals can also make it easier to select the best pieces of work to include in your portfolio.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Where your portfolio is hosted is key too &ndash; how much it costs, how easy it is to use, and the design options available all contribute to this decision.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although there are a range of portfolio website builders out there, our favourite is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-portfolio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Squarespace portfolio web builder<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &ndash; with a firm focus on design, Squarespace is perfect for creative portfolios.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The look and feel of a portfolio is key, so spend time perfecting your site. Think about its appearance, as well as what it&rsquo;s like to use. Getting feedback on your portfolio can be helpful too, as it offers insight into how your portfolio is perceived more widely.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While online portfolios are the go-to across many industries, some professions &ndash; such as print designers or interior designers &ndash; can benefit from a printed portfolio as well.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And remember that it&rsquo;s a constant work in progress: your portfolio should be updated to include new content and changes in design trends too.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"flexi-comp-lw\">\n <div class=\"flexi-comp-lw-text\">\n <p>Startups.co.uk is reader-supported.
