Portfolio Tip #1:
Don't let vanity prevent you from getting started. In other words, never wait to post your work because you think it's not good enough. When I first got started, I held off on putting anything public because I didn't think it measured up to the level of those I admired. So instead, post what you have today regardless of where you are in your career. You can always swap your old work for new examples as you create them.
Portfolio Tip #2:
Are you using WordPress? Then make sure to delete unused themes and plugins. The same goes for unsupported themes. If the developer stops updating or supporting their theme, it's time to trade it in for a new one. Using outdated themes and plugins makes your site vulnerable to malware and exploits. And if you're in this for the long haul, pay the extra money for "managed WordPress hosting" that offers daily backups and malware scanning. I learned this lesson the hard way.

Such a great portfolio and these are valuable tips too. I use WordPress and Elementor Pro and theme updates have caught me out in the past.
A website is like a rose garden. Only looks pretty if you maintain it, otherwise things can get thorny.

- Websites are like gardens. One of the plugins got hijacked and sent users to some crazy
"thorny" sites.
