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.

It’s posts like these that expose people to sites that they would have rarely come across by there own means. Your work is appreciated.
Single-paged portfolios are the best. People tend to put up a jungle of links on their sites (enter page, design category, name of design job, etc). When I redesigned my website now I checked out tons of portfolio websites to find the best way to display a portfolio, which most websites were horrible at… Anyway, I found a layout that works pretty great (I think).
Check it out at: http://www.underfundig.com :)

Lots of people have vertical scrolling on their site. I wanted to flip this and use horizontal scrolling with a landscape background that has uses a parallax effect. Check out my site and let me know what you think.
Very nice selection, thanks for posting!
