Building a Portfolio Site

Alright, you've built and/or curated your top 2 to 5 projects. Now what?

You'll want to build a portfolio site that showcases these projects, that highlights them in the best possible light.

Portfolio sites are a bit of a special interest of mine. I've reviewed hundreds of junior developer portfolio sites. And, honestly, the overwhelming majority of them miss the mark.

I found myself giving the exact same advice, over and over again. And so, in 2020, I compiled that advice into a book. It's called “Building an Effective Dev Portfolio”.

It's only about 60 pages, the sort of thing you can read in a single evening. It's absolutely free. You can download it here, in whichever format you prefer:
