In today's era it is pretty boring to look at a piece of paper and judge a person on the basis of it, so to make a portfolio dynamic, engaging, and interesting a website portfolio can be a way to go.
Firstly a platform is required to create the portfolio so platforms like WordPress, GitHub, or Six can be good options. A student must pick something that will be appropriate according to the style.
The aesthetics would be great if kept minimal, avoiding any distracting elements like flashy graphics or really bright colors.
Secondly, in order to keep the content of the portfolio in an organized and structured manner it is important to divide things up into categories like resume, projects, bio, contact info, etc. This will keep the content much more reader friendly.
Thirdly, all the past projects must be mentioned. The best projects must be kept at first in order to keep the viewer interested. This will help the viewer to stay interested and get an idea about the results a student can come up with if everything is in favor.
Testimonials of past clients can also be a valuable input in the portfolio since it will speak a lot about the student and his/her temperament on the field.
It is also important to design the website portfolio in such a way that it's easily readable on mobile phones because nowadays everyone prefers to browse the internet on phones rather than computers or laptops.
SEO also plays an important role in prioritizing a website amidst thousands of sites. So using keywords will keep the website at the favorable side of the algorithm.
Fourthly, updating the portfolio website after every new project is also important since it will create relevance and speak more about the skills of the portfolio-maker.
