Presenting your UX design on the portfolio is more than just showing off some screenshots of the wireframe or finished graphics. I am just wondering what your thoughts are on the ideal way to display your UX work on a web portfolio.
At the moment I am thinking about a combination of slideshow with sufficient amount of text to showcase the interface along with the thought process behind key design decisions.
Is this a good idea, or is there a better alternative approach?
Answer
You have had some great inputs but in my experience , they key thing which most UX recruiters and UX hiring managers look for is the process with which you have achieved with your end goal. While you can go with a number of different approaches with regards to how to showcase your content (slideshows, carousals, lightboxes) the end result is often not the only thing a UX hiring manager would want to see and your process is critical too.
I would recommend clearly calling out the different steps in the process along with the impact it had on the problem statement.
With regards to the feedback about not having a dedicated site, I would disagree. Your site is often a way to showcase your personality and the effort and thought you put in to communicate your work and design thinking. Hence having a domain name also makes it easy for people to search for you and makes you stand out as opposed to just having a visual presence on the design sites like behance or dribble
