A great portfolio website can be the best way to make sure your creativity is seen by the world. What makes a great portfolio website? What features does it need to have? How can you get the most people to view your portfolio? Dan Smith, principal of Heated Media ( http://www.heatedmedia.com ), marketing consultant and web designer, makes sure websites perform as a marketing tool.
