Are you looking for ideas to design a portfolio site? Maybe all you need is a single-page site? Single-page design works if you don't have much content, but just want to showcase your work. It can save time and cost because you don't need to build the CMS and templates. In other words, it's perfect for the non-coders. Here are 30+ single-page portfolio sites with exceptional design and implementation. Hopefully, they can give you some inspiration.

The thumbnail tooltip combined with the horizontal scrolling is the perfect match.

Cheerio:)
What an amazing collection that inspires me a lot!
http://www.jordywouters.nl is missing ;)
Very nice portfolios! It would be interesting to see which impact do single paged sites have in comparison to the standard multi paged portfolio. From one hand we have creativity, user-friendlyness and gorgeous portfolios and from the other hand sobriety, clarity and easy navigation.
These are all fantastic designs, but are they really one page? I think the answer is no in a majority of cases. In fact, many of the sites have lots of pages worth of content, but all squeezed into one page. Don’t get me wrong though, I think they look great.
nice
Check out Brennanbarney.com.
I’ll add my own, even if it’s nowhere near as spectacular as most of those linked above: Garbonsai.com
Portfolio of Brad Candullo, isn’t a one page portfolio.. but this is a good list anyhow.
A Sample from Germany: http://www.metrix.de/
Just at the moment when I wanted to start brainstorming my own personal portfolio I’m looking at this one-page-portfolio collection. It boosted my inspiration at maximum. Now let me get back to my work and design my own one-page-portfolio :)
http://twothirty.com has been a one-page site for years and includes a lot of great sites in their folio!
http://floatsolutions.com is also missing… ;)
d2lgraphics.com – also missing.

Thanks, nice collection.
Nice List!
I particularly like the aquarium of Luke Larsen.
Nice Javas there!
