How to create your own personal portfolio website – Getting Inspired

We introduce you “How to create your own personal portfolio website” episodes. This episodes will help you create a website from inspiration point and finding the idea to building the design and code for it.

The first episode is the part where you will look for the idea of the portfolio website you imagine is best for you. I consider this part a very important one, a very good idea of a website is sometimes really hard to find. Every time I found a great idea I? write it down immediately, you should do the same.

As a designer I start my working days with some good fuel for my imagination taken from some of the best Web Galleries on the WEB.

From Web Galleries you can get inspired with design elements, but also with the technical functionality of your website, like pages structures, navigations, sliders and many code issues.

One of my favorite source of inspiration are design communities. Here you can find serious design inspiration from the best designers around the world. Deviantart is the leading design community I know, following Behance and the rest of them. You can stumble across designers profiles and look through their wonderful designs.
