Now a days portfolios are not just for web designers or models. Any person from any industry can show his/her portfolio online to gain exposure to potential opportunities. In my personal experience if you are skilled at anything then you must to show it off online by having your own portfolio site. You can either use a free portfolio service to show what you have done and your capabilities.
Following are some of the reasons, why you should have a portfolio website.

There are many times you meet a potential client and he/she wish to see what you have done in past. Most of the times, you manually go to them with your laptop and show them your work every time. It takes lot of time, and it is a very boring process too. Why not create your own portfolio website and showcase your work at site. Whenever a client ask you for your previous work, just give them your portfolio website address and let your portfolio website convince them.

If you are having a good looking portfolio website then it might get more attention from the clients means better image and more people getting your services. Potential clients will think that you are really serious rather then just another next door web designer.
