also i'm not showing up in search, though i am being shown a #1. i don't know if it's for # of entries or pages. i tried other terms that display no results

Would be nice to click on the thumbnails and enlarge the image. Also when adding info have a character limit counter so you know how much or how little to enter.
As JSK mentioned, filtering is going to be needed.
- no bigger images, get those images at your supplied url
please god no lightboxregiste - +1 with registe. having thumbnails only serves well to drive traffic to private sites or ask for addl portfolio material.MrAbominable
- I hate clicking to a site and then having to dig for things... most sites don't get you there quick enough. If they do then that's fine.bzsaw

Could use an email feature up against a phone #.
But this is really cool. Nice, simple, and not annoying to use. Doesn't get in the way of the persons work.

Interesting, haven't seen that one before. I suppose they are similar, but a little too web 2.0ish for my taste. I took a minimalistic approach to accentuate the work and I think it's just classier. Quality over quantity.- I find it to be a bit utilitarian, don't know if that's classy or not.dMullins

If someone is looking for a designer in this sort of way, they probably don't care much for the design of the site itself. More important is, "Does it help me find the right kind of designer I need?" Which is to say, you're probably right in keeping it minimal.
What is Web 2.0 about Sortfolio to you? I find that expression about the design of something to be terribly fetid? Sortfolio is owned by Basecamp/37 signals now...so I guess you might say their brand structure is a bit web 2.0ish, but design-wise, I don't think I see it.

ok, i've got a new comp i'm working on that i think everyone will REALLY like. it features some new pieces for the landing page including a featured profile section, a showcase of selected works, and a few other surprises.
that's just ui, though. I've got a slew of ideas for ux features I can add to enhance search and ways to make the site more intuitive to help get you referals.
however, what i need right now is one thing: more profiles. this is a very opportune time now, because i've just taken some time off work to focus on personal projects and now i'm trying to figure out where this project should be placed in terms of priority.
any ideas how i can get this in front of more design / photography / illustration / motion / etc. folks?

it'd be nice if i could figure out how they're being displayed so i could try to group them somehow. overall, i like this tiny profile format
- dbloc0
the page numbers on the top right look like they belong to the first profile...might want to somehow differentiate.

yeah, my only issue with a specialties/categories list is that it needs to be comprehensive so as not to inadvertently exclude anyone who would otherwise fit their intended criteria.
how many different titles are there?

you know the small grey text is really really hard to read
