13 Best Next.js Portfolio Website Examples
I found the best Next.js portfolio websites that book more clients.
These portfolios nail the intersection of technical prowess and client conversion. They prove you can code and communicate value. Here’s what separates the pros from the hobbyists:
- Lead with outcomes, not tools. Braydon Coyer uses warm, conversational copy to showcase personality alongside skills, while My Engineer’s bold geometric layout instantly communicates trustworthiness. Strong Next.js web developer portfolio sites don’t say “I build with React”… they show what problems they solve.
- Make your work the hero. Shreyash Singh Photography uses bold red accents against minimalist layouts to let images breathe, and JP Valery captures everyday beauty through thoughtful storytelling. Whether you’re building Next.js photography websites or Next.js design portfolio sites, your projects need context: the problem, your solution, real results.
- Contrast creates focus. ithinkitschris uses striking contrast on dark backgrounds to make the name pop, while Anish Biswas leverages lime-green accents for instant visual hierarchy. Bold design choices signal confidence.

About this collection
This is a collection of websites organized by the platform they are built on, category, and sometimes tags and the creator. They're here for inspiration. Most websites made it into this collection because they have beautiful designs, while others showcase exceptional copywriting or information architecture.
What this page contains
This page showcases 13 website examples built with Next.js in the Portfolio category. Each website includes a tall screenshot, a link to the live site, the platform it was built on, and a description (generated with AI).
Quality may vary by category or platform
Some sites aren't an absolute 10/10, but they shine relative to their categorization. For example, categories like Notary or HOA don't reach the same design heights as Designer or SaaS sites. They're still included so people in those industries have relevant references when building their website.
How these websites are picked
While I won't reveal the exact details of my curation process (so competitors can't copy), I can share that:
- They are all organically sourced (i.e., I don't copy other inspiration galleries)
- It's an arduous process to find these gems. I typically review 10,000 sites to discover just 10 worthy additions.
The purpose of this collection
There are two primary reasons people view these website examples:
- To find design, copy, or general website inspiration from similar businesses in their industry
- To explore the capabilities of website platforms before making a decision
Oh yes, and affiliate marketing. I'm part of affiliate programs for some of the platforms, so if you purchase after clicking a link, I may earn a commission.
