Wix Portfolio allows you to display your work for current and prospective clients to see. Whether you are a photographer, UX designer, fine artist or an architect, Wix Portfolio offers you the space to showcase your work. 

Add the Wix Portfolio app and then start creating projects with as many photos and videos as you like. You can create collections to help visitors find the projects that are most relevant to them. 

For example, if you're a freelance photographer, you can create a collection for wedding shoots and another for corporate events, making it easier for potential clients to navigate through your work and find what they are looking for.
