Online Portfolio and Presentability

Most portfolio sites in the internet are flash based. The reason perhaps why many web designers put their sample works in a flash is because of the "coolness" effect of flash websites. And it is a way of making an
impression for potential employers.

With the proliferation of flash folio sites, some ojectives of having the your sample works showcased online are often overlooked. Some sites are so sophisticatedly cool that records of accomplishments or gallery of
artworks are barely noticeable. Complex animations and rocking audios gets more attention than the list of clients they have serviced.

Flash websites have the tendency of loading very slow in many browsers. Though the site may look cool, the loading speed may suck up and may take away impressive points from the reviewer. It is best to have just enough balance between visual presentation and good usability.

You may opt for other web technologies and techniques in presenting your works. A nice javascript gallery may suffice for your need if you are not feeling those moving visuals created in flash. With good design and
layout, your folio page may look impressive and elegant even with just a lighbox gallery.

It is important to keep in mind that a folio site is a showcase of your  worth as designer. Making it a kick-ass page is not at all admonished, so long as there's a way for your works to speak for themselves in the page,
and the usability of the site is not in ruin. The presentability of your site may reflect your disposition as a career person, so furnish it with right elegance, creativity, and passion.
