When thinking about your portfolio online you should look at other websites. And think about your own work. What aesthetic qualities fit your personality, your identity, and your career field?

Let’s start by looking at some example websites.
Well, before we can do that, let’s start-start by finding some nice examples for each of your fields and leaving links in the comments below.

Sample Websites:

1. Search online and look at least 3 websites for people who have the sort of careers you would like to work toward. (when you first search for the name of your field, you might find a lot of company and news websites – search a little further, you’ll find sites for individual people – if you have trouble, message Glenn)
2. Pick the awesomest of the 3 and leave that site URL as a comment below
3. In your comment list:

• Your Name
• Your Career Area
• The Name of the person whose website you’re showing
• Their URL

BTW, I have seen, and you will probably see, a lot of bad websites in many different fields. If you like building websites, there could be work in it for you! 🙂
