Portfolio Websites


I have heard over and over again how important it is to have a portfolio website. I have been looking around and found this one that I thought was so interesting. What I liked about it the most was this concept that you can choose between the Emotional Flash version of the site or the standard. We have discussed a lot about how much talent and creative it takes to design and program a site with a lot of bells, whistles and animation but that how often times people want it quick and simple, similar to how intro videos used to be all the rage and now we just want to get to the "skip intro " button.

More Flash Websites!

So here is an interesting article about Flash giving examples of great sites on .Net magazine in the UK. It really outlines what made the site so powerful for its initial release and some great background information-- this is go because some of the site are not up and running at this date sadly.

There is another site http://www.topflashwebsites.com/ that rates Flash sites in a similar way.

These are some great examples I really liked Creative Fridge what an interesting interface!
