Best portfolio website sections: what to include
Every $portfolio website template here is cut into sections, so we can count them. 38 of 84 portfolio websites open with a dedicated hero, and 30 include features, 30 include showcase and 26 include statement. 4 publish a pricing table on the homepage (5%) — a useful benchmark if you're deciding what to show above the fold on your own portfolio website. Browse each section type on its own: portfolio website hero examples, portfolio website features examples, portfolio website showcase examples, portfolio website statement examples, portfolio website about examples.
Portfolio Website fonts and colours

Portfolio Website layout and page length
The average portfolio website layout here runs 14.5 sections and about 5,161px tall at desktop width — roughly 6 screens of scrolling. Pentagram is the longest portfolio website at 11,000px, while Brian Lovin makes its case in 1,572px. Open any portfolio website template to scroll the full-page capture and see exactly where each section falls, then plan your own page length against the category norm.
Portfolio Website testimonials, trust signals and calls to action
4 portfolio websites show testimonials and 9 show a customer logo cloud, and 7 answer objections with an FAQ. 12 of 84 (14%) close with a dedicated call-to-action section that repeats the hero's offer — a good signal for how hard a portfolio website sells on the homepage. Compare portfolio website testimonial examples and portfolio website call-to-action examples to see how each product phrases its close.
How to use a portfolio website template from this page
Pick the portfolio website example whose structure fits your offer, then open it to see every section in order. Copy the build prompt for the hero and features into your editor or AI tool, swap in your palette from the extracted hex values, and keep the section order — it's the part that took the original team the longest to get right. Use Compare to weigh two portfolio website designs side by side, or start from a brief and let the library rank portfolio website inspiration for you. Looking for a different vertical?

Portfolio Website templates — FAQ
What is a portfolio website template on UI Discovery?
A portfolio website template here is a real, live portfolio site — Pentagram, Locomotive and Instrument among them — captured in full at retina size and cut into its individual sections. Alongside the screenshots you get the site's colour palette as hex values, its heading and body fonts, the extracted copy, and an original build prompt written for that layout. Rather than downloading a theme, you use it as a reference to rebuild the structure for your own brand in Figma, Framer, Webflow or code, which keeps you out of licensing trouble and produces something that is actually yours.
What makes a good portfolio website design?
Personal portfolios stay minimal so the work leads — a short intro, a project grid and one way to get in touch. In the 84 portfolio websites here, 38 open with a dedicated hero and 30 include features and 30 include showcase, so those are the sections worth studying first. The strongest examples share a clear value proposition above the fold, real product imagery rather than stock illustration, and a single primary action repeated at the end of the page.
Which sections do portfolio websites use most?
Across the 84 portfolio websites in the library, hero (38 of 84 sites), features (30 of 84 sites), showcase (30 of 84 sites) and statement (26 of 84 sites) appear most often. 4 sites (5%) publish a pricing table directly on the homepage, which is a useful benchmark when you are deciding whether to show prices early. Every section is captured on its own page, so you can compare the same section — say, the hero — across every portfolio product side by side.
Which fonts and colours are popular on portfolio websites?
77% of these portfolio websites use a light theme and 23% a dark one, which tells you what visitors in this category are used to. For headings, Inter (8), Sans (2) and Wotfard (2) come up most often; geometric and grotesque sans-serifs dominate, with serifs used for a more editorial feel. The most common accent hues are neutral (59), blue (8) and red (7). Every reference lists its exact fonts and full hex palette, so you can match the category norm or deliberately break from it.
How do I use these portfolio website design examples?
Open any site to see the full page at actual size, then click a section to copy its palette, fonts and build prompt. Paste the prompt into Cursor, Claude, v0 or your editor of choice and swap in your own copy and colours. You can save sections to a board to build a moodboard, use Compare to weigh two portfolio websites side by side, or connect the UI Discovery MCP server so your coding agent can pull a real portfolio pricing table or hero while it builds, without leaving the terminal.
Are the templates free to use?
Browsing the library is free, and every capture, palette and font list is visible without an account. The captured designs belong to their respective owners and are provided as reference and inspiration only — you should not copy a site's copy, logo or imagery. The palettes, extracted fonts, build prompts and downloadable templates that UI Discovery produces are original work and yours to use in commercial projects. See the pricing page for what Pro adds, such as full-resolution exports and unlimited boards.
How often are new sites added?
New portfolio websites are captured and added weekly, and existing sites are re-captured when they ship a redesign, so the library reflects what these products look like now rather than a year ago. Each site shows its capture date, and older versions are kept so you can see how a homepage evolved. This page was last updated September 26, 2026.
