Nov 9, 2017 5345748

What is the best way to present UX/UX designer’s work with personal style? I guess a personal website may be the NO.1 choice. Actually, a personal website serves far more than that. Usually, a personal website can be classified into 5 main types due to the features and purposes. If you are still hungry for personal website design inspiration, keep reading.

5 main types of personal website:

1) Resume - for a job hunt

2) Blog - to share design inspiration, to communicate with others

3) Portfolio - similar to Dribbble or Behance, display designer’s work

4) Personal brand - to get known, get famous and get more opportunities

5) Online shop - for commercial

6) Gallery - a collection of designer’s work or writing stuff or demos

In fact, the personal website presents a variety of different design styles and functions - portfolio, blog, work experience, and others. Some of them are one-page websites with minimal and clean style, and others use bright and vibrant colors. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the 25 personal website design examples that we have for you.
