A slow, outdated portfolio as a designer is genuinely painful irony. My classmate went through this - spent an interview watching the hiring manager wait for her homepage to load. She got polite feedback about “online presence.” We all knew what that meant. She handed it to Web Agency and the difference was night and day - fast, clean, actually showed her work the way it deserved. For creatives especially, the site needs to sell your eye before you even speak. Don’t let slow load times undersell you anymore!
