The importance of a well-prepared online portfolio is critical and provides employers with evidence of your skills, abilities and all other accomplishments and achievements. It also documents and shows your quality and experience in training and what you have learned. It is a well-organized and structured collection of documents and visual that presents all the achievements through out your career, both personal and professional.
The design of you online portfolio will have a massive impact on the user reviewing your work and is therefore very essential. When creating your portfolio your goal should be to present personal information, credentials, documents and possible URL’s to existing work in a functional manner that is both aesthetically easy on the eyes and user friendly. The mmPortfolio component for Joomla enables you to gather all the information you have and place it inside a framework that is customizable, professional looking and easy to use.
It is important to know that your portfolio should always be a work in progress. Holding off and not uploading everything you may have on your plate can sometimes work in your favour. The outcome of what you’re trying to achieve with your portfolio is most likely of high importance and therefore its better to take it step by step and only showcase selected creative works or products.
