Building a good portfolio website involves several key steps to showcase your skills, experience, and personality effectively. Start by selecting a clean and professional design that reflects your personal brand and highlights your work prominently. Ensure your website is easy to navigate, with clear sections for your portfolio, about me, contact information, and any additional relevant content such as testimonials or blog posts. Customize your portfolio section to showcase your best work, including detailed project descriptions, images, and links to live demos or source code repositories. Incorporate responsive design principles to ensure your website looks great and functions well across different devices and screen sizes. Finally, regularly update your portfolio with new projects and achievements to keep it fresh and engaging for visitors. By following these steps, you can create a compelling portfolio website that effectively showcases your skills and impresses potential clients or employers.

Very good post & portfolio.

For suggestion in your portfolio:
-> Your photo(about section) maybe with transparent instead of blue background are better.
-> Your socials maybe are better if they appears in Home or About section. My personal choise is in home section.

Regards buddy!

A portfolio it's the straightforward way to showcase your capabilities to other people, and I think we should pay more attention on how our portfolio represents us rather than simply showcase something

Thanks for the detailed information. Would it be necessary to add a photo of one's self on his/her portfolio website?

I think it's a subjective thing. But it is good to add one because employers would love to see who they are hiring.
