What makes a good designer portfolio website design
Designer portfolios are case studies in miniature: a short intro, selected projects with the problem and outcome, process artefacts and one clear way to get in touch.
What these 13 designer portfolio websites have in common
Measured from the captures, not opinion — use it to plan a designer portfolio website against what already works.
Sections they use
5 include statement, 4 include hero, 3 include showcase and 1 include features. Almost none carry an FAQ and few close with a dedicated call-to-action section. Read top to bottom, the most common running order is hero → statement → features. Compare them side by side: statement section examples, hero section examples, showcase section examples.
Type and colour
Light layouts lead (77% vs 23% dark). Headlines are most often set in Inter (2), Canela Deck (1) and Suisse (1). The most common accent hues are neutral (7), red (2) and blue (2). Every example lists its exact fonts and hex palette on its page.
Page length
The average homepage here is about 6,154px tall at desktop width — roughly 7 screens of scrolling, with Tobias van Schneider the longest at 11,000px. Open any site to scroll the full-page capture and see where each section falls.
