4 gorgeous single-page portfolios » July 12th, 2008 · See comments
I’m a huge fan of minimalism and simplicity. I love single-column websites, and I especially love single-page websites. Here are 5 of my favourite single-page portfolios.
Stage5
Stage5 Studio is the portfolio of Danny Silva, a freelance web designer based in San Antonio, Texas. The dark greys and the bright blues give this site a very powerful impact.
Sroown
Sroown is the portfolio of Ivan Aleksić, a new media designer in Belgrade, Serbia. Even though it’s predominantly a tiny bit flash-based, and the “back to top” link gets on my nerves, I still think this portfolio is striking.
Sergei Shiryayev
Sergei Shiryayev is a designer from Alaska, US. I love the attention to detail he has in his portfolio. Again, it’s another dark design with bright blue.
Gloamine
Gloamine is the portfolio of Miro Bzduch, a digital designer living in Sydney, Australia, and is yet another example of people combining dark grey with bright blue. I love the attention to detail in Miro’s layout, especially the cute little forms he has got going on.
What do you think to single-page portfolios?
I think it’s funny that 3/4 of them are blue and dark grey.
Those all look very nice!
I like Gloamine the best, but the others are not bad either.
I honestly don’t care whether they are one page or more. To me is the ease of loading on my dial-up connection, lol. I hate it when they take forever to load.
I like single page websites too.
It’s like, YAY INFORMATION! Done. Nice.
I have too many photos to do that, I think.
Though, now that I think about it…
Hm, I might be playing in photoshop later :d
Yes, single page webpages are so effective and lovely in terms of being to-the-point. I find it incredible how people can do that!
My favourite would have to be Tanya Merone’s which is the epitome of a one-page portfolio.
Ah! Ramsha beat me to it. When I had a short-lived desire to open my own portfolio, I was (probably overly) inspired by Tanya Merone’s page.
I like the dark designs of all the ones you’ve linked.
Hmmm, inspiration?
I like them!
Hello, first of all I’d like to thank you for talking about my website. It’s good to hear that someone is inspired by my work.
I just like to make one digression. In description it says that website is “predominantly flash-based”, though it only has a little “new” sign that is on top of the new work done in flash.
Reply: Ivan, I do apologise! I turned off flash, and your site still appeared. So for that, I apologise. I have ammended your description to fit.
The first one has extremely disorganised type, but apart from that a lovely little selection. The interactivity on Sroown is wonderful.
I’m surprised you left out Danny Blackman’s portfolio – I’ve never seen anything quite like it
Websites that like these, make me wish that I knew how to actually design something.
They are inspiring, really.
But, I’ll settle as being an admirer instead.
These are lovely. I’m so inspired to redo my portfolio.
Hey Rachael,
Thanks for the post. It’s always cool when people talk up your stuff. Hope all is well…..
