List of Freelance Writer Website Portfolio Formats that Work:

Creating an online writing portfolio/website could be an intimidating task for someone who is just starting off. Staring at a blank screen for hours and not really sure where to begin or what to say?
Here is a list of 11 freelance content writer websites that belong to successful professionals, which may be just what you need to put your best foot forward.
1. Jeff Goins
He is an award-winning blogger whose blog was voted "Top 10 Blogs on Writing" in 2011, 2012, and 2014. He is also a best-selling author of five books, The Art of Work being one of them.
The principle "less is more" is very evident in Jeff Goins' website. His home page layout is neat and attention-grabbing and his menu bar is simple. There are four pages (excluding his individual blog posts) and it is pretty straightforward to navigate through.
Here is his site: https://goinswriter.com/about/
He is also a speaker, and the page that showcases his speaking services is a well-laid-out resume (it is worth your while to take a look at).
Here is a video of him speaking (simply because google seems to love my post when I share a video):
2. Mukthi Mashi
Mukthi has been a freelance writer for more than a decade and she contributes to a few major blog sites such as Thought Catalog and Entrepreneur Europe. She is also the co-founder of the advertising firm AVM pictures.
Her website covers a lot of details and a lot of things are going on. But, once you begin to scroll through the pages, there is a certain continuity to her storytelling. She has been able to transfer he narrating skills to her website.

3. Heidi Cohen
Are you looking for a retro aesthetic for your website? In that case, you've got to take a look at Heidi's site. It doesn't get more straightforward than what she has gone for. Her menu, the fonts she uses, and her blog, are all to the point, with no gimmicks.
She is a marketing content creator who has branched her services to speaking, training, and consultation. It's not just her layout that deserves to be studied, the way she uses language to get to the point, and the way she positions her information are worth a quick study.

Samarpita offers a range of services from manuscript editing to copywriting. She is the founder of Cover to Cover writing studio through which she has written and delivered content for more than a decade now.
She uses pastel pink and grey on her website. What you get to see the most here is the way she has been able to highlight and incorporate all of her services on her pages.

If you are thinking of a website layout for blogs that deal with breaking news and/or true crime documents take a look at Vibhav's site. The red and black tone that he has gone for offers a certain sense of seriousness and immediacy to his content.
His blogs deal with education and career enhancement techniques and he too has been in the content writing field for over a decade. He has also authored a few books that are available on Amazon.
Here is his site: https://www.vaibhavk.com/
Bhavik Sarkhedi is a very well-known content writer from India and has authored seven books. He runs an agency that helps people with all forms of written content, from statements of purpose to social media posts.
To know how to incorporate a lot of information within your website, check Bhavik's out for reference.

7. Ryan Holiday
Ryan is another OG in the world of blogging. Like everyone else on the list, Ryan too had a humble beginning and now about 200,000 people get his blogs emailed to them directly. He has written for New York Times, USA Today, New York Observer, The Huffington Post, and many other high-profile publications.
The website is of a professional who has been in this field for decades, so it would not be the wisest to try and build something that is as complex right away, but this sure is a great reference point and something you can aspirer for your website to be at some point.

8. Jeff Bullas
Here is another top social marketing talent that the world has seen, on par with the likes of Seth Godin. Jeff has been considered the world's number 1 business blogger by BizHUMM. His website is another example of simplicity and efficiency at its best.

9. Mia Salas
After a few big names it is only fair that I add a name to the list who relatively is a beginner. Mia Salas is one of the first influencers on TikTok whose content gave me the courage to pursue my career in content writing.
She writes for quite a few publications and has a very strong social media presence. She recently found herself a position as a content designer at Meta (Facebook).
Her website is a great example of what a good beginner-level content writer website should look like.

10. Nicole Dieker
There is no list of Content Writers that do not include Nicole's name. She has been in this game since 2012 and has also authored a few books.
The simplest and the most concise and to-the-point website on this list is Nicole's. It is a single-page site that captures everything that she intends to share with the world. The options on the menu bar simply scroll down to the section that you wish to read through.
Her website is one of my favorites and here it is: https://nicoledieker.com/
11. Kahan J Sudev
"When vanity is at stake, anything is better than nothing." Louis-Ferdinand Celine in Journey to the End of the Night; I had to add my website to the list.
Compared to many of these decade-old veterans, I would have to consider myself brand new. Having said that I do take pride in the website I have created. Given my research, the least I could do is create a decent website I guess.
Here is mine: https://www.kahanjsudev.com/
Conclusion
Having this list before I started my website would have cut the time I spent designing mine in half. I hope it helps you build yours.
