How to write portfolio case studies:
1. Jot down your points - BEFORE you design.
2. Keep it brief & caption everything.
3. Give credit & explain your role.
4. Write in your voice.
5. Provide context.
6. Think of your case studies like magazine features.

After much deliberation, we've made our decision.
⭐ These are the best Semplice portfolios of 2020 ⭐

PRO TIP: If you have lots of projects in your grid, you can reduce the page weight and increase site speed with the lazy load feature (find it under your portfolio grid settings).

Experiment with different layouts and save multiple drafts before publishing your page. We believe you will enjoy this very much.
If you're looking to add a new font to your collection, support these type foundries.
These are the best type designers we know and the typefaces we use every day at Semplice.
PRO TIP: If you have projects across multiple categories, use the Live Category Filter in your portfolio grid.
It works as a sub-menu, seamlessly shuffling your projects without a new page load.
