Best portfolio web designs

Hello Developers 👋🏼

I am Saurabh, a beginner in the design world.
In this article, we'll see some of the best web designs that I use to get my inspirations and to get my research started. I hope this will help you too.

Portfolio websites are the best way to boast about your front-end skills. A portfolio website is nothing less than a resume for a developer. All of these listed websites are portfolio sites of wonderful designers and developers.

Some tips for your next design

• Do your research regarding the project.
• Keep it simple and stupid.
• Keep it clean.
• Don't use multiple fonts or colours.
• Create typography hierarchy and font styles first.
• Consistency always makes your design look professional - use consistent icons, illustrations, and images.
• Check contrast and space - need to have good contrast between element and background. Appropriate breathing space inside cards and buttons is the key.
• Use grids and rulers to keep components aligned perfectly.
• Keep yourself updated with new trends.
