The features any effective portfolio website should have to stand out are as follows:
Crisp and aesthetically appealing design;
Laconic tagline and a logo;
Smart and noon-aggressive call to action to build a relationship of trust between you and your visitors;
High-quality content;
Concise yet compelling lists of the services you provide, the products you make, the projects you have done; you may as well consider adding a list of your guest appearances.
Properly placed and up-to-date contact information;
Elaborate yet brief About Me page within the framework of decency and modesty.
