Hey Angelo!

I’ve seen great portfolio sites that had work samples broken up by category. For instance, illustrator extraordinaire Jessica Hische does this: jessicahische.is/working

However – I think it makes the most sense to do this when you have a lot of work samples to show, as Jessica does.

Echoing Ryan – I’m not sure if there is a way you can test the effectiveness of having your work broken down into categories.

However, one tool I’ve used in the past to see how site visitors are acting on my website(s) is Heat Maps. With a Heat Map test, you can see where people are clicking and perhaps more importantly where they aren’t. This can show you if website visitors are taking the actions you want them to. (Sumo Me has a free Heat Map tool.)

Hope this helps!

I can’t speak for Laurence on this one, but I think that’s a very good approach, Angelo.

It gives potential clients the opportunity to hone in on exactly which services they’re looking to have done, and see your specific experience in that area.

It’d probably be difficult to quantify a “test” on the effectiveness of changing to that approach, but make sure you include specific calls to action on each section of your portfolio that ask your potential client to get in touch for a personalized quote (or something of that nature).
