Your Portfolio Platform Doesn't Matter (Stop Overthinking It)
Watch & Listen:
You’re stuck building your portfolio. Should you use Webflow? Framer? WordPress?
Maybe you rebuild everything from scratch and start over? There are so many opinions on design social media that it is impossible to know what to do.
In this episode of the Design Table Podcast, we discuss why designers obsess over portfolio tools and why that’s (mostly) a waste of time.
We talk about what actually matters when someone reviews your work, why presentation beats platform, and how small details like having a custom domain has more impact than the tools you use.
We also cover platform tradeoffs (in case it matters), cost considerations, and when it actually makes sense to switch.
This episode is about focusing on what actually gets you hired instead of getting stuck in tool discussions. It is a must-listen for any designer building or rebuilding their portfolio.
