Portfolios are the bane of my existence. Getting a website to look nice on a website is just so hard. Strongly considering just putting like 4 case studies and being done.

Why not just use CV as your portfolio? There’s projects, writing, and more
CV is an incredible all-in-one platform, and they are already experimenting with a portfolio-style page. However, I believe most designers still have that artist desire to express themselves somehow (but it's a great suggestion for what Justin is struggling with)
I would agree with this. My client base isn’t used to platforms like this, although hiring managers are. If I want more clients, they just look for portfolio. Not a CV (in my experience)
I wonder if hiding the “experience” section and showing the projects section would be enough perhaps. I know @andy has been working on a custom layout thing. ETA?
You can choose not to add your work experience and only add your projects and contact info!
we are actually beta testing this now with people who are keen to use our builder (react) to create custom sites! will be launching our plug and play templates very shortly. DM me if you’d like to try!
I think it would be enough if he could further customize the layout of project section itself.
