  Old  1 or multiple page portfolios?

I can't decide on which route I should take. I can fit everything on one page, but am not sure if it will be smart in the future. Right now I have little content for multiple pages. lol

You should always think about future expansion IMO. Saves work later on. So yeah, I would say multi page.

Rule number one, never add anything that you don't need. If you only need one page then just have one page, if you need multiple pages then have more.

I like the quote in Julians (I think it's Julian's) sig. "Think of a website as a piece of clay. Instead of thinking what to add, think about taking away what you don't need" - It goes something like that anyway.

Bazza is right, so is Rob and all the others that are saying to you to do what you need to do, don't do something you don't need to do just because everyone else does it.

If you don't have content for multiple pages then don't make multiple pages.

Bazza, the quote is one I made up, it goes something like "You should design like a sculptor, don't keep adding more, strip away the innessentials until the truth is revealed"

Are you thining about multi pages as in forum designs, blog designs etc OR designs page 1, designs page 2?

If its the second don't use multi pages, it really does put me off. Sifting through designers is enough hassle, finding them is too, going through pages of 3 designs per page is a nightmare.

Seems like a bizarre question to me....have one page if you only have enough content for one page.....

Exactly, but here's a question: When do you draw the line for 1 page and go on to page # 2?

Seems like a multi page site would be best assuming you have seamless navigation.
