10 elegantly designed text based portfolios of a web designer and developer

Sometimes portfolios aren’t about shouting about your services and how amazing you are, although most are, and most should.

This small selection of website designers are about the finer the details, the minialism of their services, the attention to detail with their body text and block-quotes. It’s the little things these web designers have focused on. Have a look through and look back at your own work and think about your body text and general website text. Can you improve this ? Can you create a beautiful reading experience?
