Portfolio Analysis: Template Hosted Portfolios A.


http://www.styleportfolios.com/

Web based portfolio solely for the fashion design sector. Links to industry, and recruitment opportunities available.

The designers can upload photos for their portfolios, write a short <500 word description for each portfolio, but there are no individual descriptions for each of the photographs. On the right is a short CV and bio, and there are contact and replication/printing options (but you have to log in to do this).

I looked at this designer in particular http://www.styleportfolios.com/portfolio.php?username=uricka#

The images are professional, and the description well thought out, but there is a slight downside in that you can't zoom into the screenshots (the same across the site). The format is well laid out except you can't arrange/browse by portfolio or season/collection, there is simply a list of images. There are no customisation options which i suppose makes the site look good in terms of continuity and professionalism, but it means that you cannot format the space to better present your work.


When you click on an image, a popup window appears, but to se another image, you have to close the window and click on the next one. It should provide a browsing function where you can click 'next' or 'previous' images within this zoomed view to prevent the tedious task of looking through the portfolio.
