Maybe you’re brand new to the web design world. Or maybe you’re a seasoned pro looking to attract a new kind of client. Either way, it’s time to give your portfolio a refresh. No experience or clients required.

Here’s how to get started:

Create your dream client. Imagine the exact kind of client you want to attract. What do they offer? Who do they serve? What’s their vibe? Hop into Canva and create a mood board for this fictional brand. ****

Mock up their website. Use Canva or your website designer to mock up a fictional website. Treat it like a real project, and work through your client process while you go.

Show it off! Use this mockup on your portfolio, on social media, everywhere!
