What makes a good about section on a portfolio website
About sections tell the origin story briefly and point to what the company believes, with a photo or two of real people. Personal portfolios stay minimal so the work leads — a short intro, a project grid and one way to get in touch. Compare these examples with about sections from every industry, or see the full homepages on the portfolio website templates page.
What these 32 about sections have in common
On average each one carries 4.9 images or icons, 0.9 buttons and 3.9 links. 32% sit on a dark background, and 58% are taller than half their width — most take a full screen or more.
