Are you a fan of minimalist WordPress portfolio themes? Have you ever dreamt about a perfect background for your works? Tell me what it looks like? Something like the Sahara desert, airy, spacious and created in a stylish color scheme?

Let’s start from the beginning. Hi, how’s it going?

Not so well? Do you want to get more clients from the web or just show off your best creations? In case you want to enhance your existing online presence and want to find a perfect graphic designer WordPress theme, follow me!

First of all, let me share with you some tips that I wish I knew when launching my own designer website. All of them are tried and true, so you can be sure to implement them and improve your WordPress portfolio.

Your fellow designer says that you should concentrate all your effort on building websites, while media says that web app creators are in a huge demand right now. In what should you invest your time? I have for you some standard and maybe old-fashioned advice. Do what you love. In the event you are eager to change the direction of your career from time to time, you can fill out your portfolio accordingly and proclaim yourself to be a Jack of all trades. If there is something specific that you have enjoyed doing since the early start of your career, build your portfolio around it.
Make your portfolio real. Your future employer knows what the designer world is really like, so there’s no need to give the impression that you are a magician or a super lucky person that hustles any project on the fly. Your ability to fail and learn is exactly what’s valuable.
What? You have been designing awesome stuff since high school? Good for you! But, you are not going to list all your victories and failures on your CV, right? Nobody cares about that cute wood puppy that you carved; all they need to know is whether you are worth working with.
Remember that cool but totally useless vase you made for your mum? Needless to say, mentioning your ability as a potter on your CV is a waste of time for both client and potential employer. We don’t want that, right? Thus, you have to produce a solution for a problem that currently exists on the market, and which will satisfy your client’s needs. Don’t even bother to put a project that “looks good”, like your mum’s vase, in your portfolio.
“What a beautiful button this website has. I don’t even care that I have no idea where it leads too, I just love the look of it” - said no visitor ever. Your online presence was created for a reason, it has to pursue certain aims. So, even a five-year-old should understand how to interact with your site and which button will help them to get to their page of choice.
What is your idea of a typical portfolio? I bet it has to be centered around visuals and nothing else. Well, this is partially true. Of course, clients would like to see the final result of your projects. But, how can it show them what you are really capable of? That’s why you should supply each picture with a short “success story”. Provide all the details about the challenges that you faced and how you managed to deliver the result, which was expected by the client in the form of a mini case study.

But, it all starts from a solid foundation. From my point of view, it has to be a responsive, fully editable and SEO-friendly WordPress theme for graphic designers. What’s your opinion? Leave your suggestions in the comments section.

Regardless of your response, we are glad to introduce to you a stunning child of our beloved Monstroid 2 - ShowPage Portfolio WordPress Theme.
