Evaluation Sequence
Make your needs concrete.
Start with the work you want to show. Then consider what your business needs the website to do, and turn each requirement into a task you can examine.
Choose the work that tells your story.
Select representative projects, images or service examples. Write down what a viewer should understand about each one: the context, your contribution and the next action you want them to take.
Use those examples to examine how a portfolio website could organize and present your work.
Explore presentation questionsIdentify what happens alongside the work.
Describe the business activities your website needs to support. Do visitors need to browse items in an online store, arrange appointments through scheduling, or connect with an invoicing workflow?
Keep only the activities relevant to your business. For each, note what the visitor does and what your team needs to manage.
Match each task to a product description.
Read the relevant product descriptions with your presentation and business tasks beside you. Look for the functions and parameters that address each requirement, rather than treating every available category as something you need.
Carry unresolved questions into your evaluation. Keep a short list of what you still need to examine instead of assigning a fit score.
Take your requirements into feature research.
