05. Chipie Designs

If there's one thing designer Claudia del Castillo did well in designing the portfolio for her firm, Chipie Designs (and we would argue there are plenty of things), it's demonstrate her attention to detail. By infusing the firm's signature cyan-green across the site, down to the interactive hover effects, she crafts a cohesive visual narrative that both delights and informs. The structure of the portfolio itself is user-centric; each work sample serves as a portal to a more detailed case study, offering depth and insight into Chipie Designs' contributions and project outcomes. 

Moreover, the use of dropdown menus is a strategic choice for seamless site navigation, allowing visitors to effortlessly delve into the portfolio or select a specific client's case study. This intuitive design choice underscores the firm's dedication to a superior user experience, showcasing how functional elements can align perfectly with aesthetic presentation.

06. Studio Bagaz’

Graphic design brand Studio Bagaz’ is all about crisp aesthetics when it comes to their professional portfolio website. This sophisticated simplicity also applies to their website navigation, thanks to the organized structure of their site. Visitors can swiftly move between pages using the fixed website menu on the side, or by clicking on the images of the works themselves.

The menu opens up as a lightbox that slides onto the screen, covering half of it. Not only does this fill the screen with new compositions and color combinations, but it also lets visitors remain on the page they were browsing while simultaneously navigating around the site making for great user experience design. 

07. David Milan

Designer, art director and hand lettering artist David Milan places his art center stage. By including only the most crucial elements on the header and opting for a simple monochrome palette, David draws visitors’ eyes directly to his colorful designs.

His gallery of works spans the width of the screen, making up the majority of the website. David has used the Wix Pro Gallery to form a feed-like website layout that visitors are invited to scroll down for great usability. This straightforward structure allows for more and more images to be uploaded, making for a design portfolio that is easy to update as his body of work expands.
