I'm in the process of designing a new site for myself and I was hoping for some good suggestions for CSS portfolio sites. I want to have a news area, a work area, a client list, and a contact page. I also would like to start my own inspiration blog to post my daily design/music inspirations. Should I keep them separate but have links to each other? Or should I integrate them? I'd really love to see some amazing examples... I'm not going to batesole anyone. ;) I admire a lot of you guys and simply look for inspiration

I´d keep them seperate, 2 different things to me, they don´t work together well.

I dislike being forced to sequentially click through work or groups of work as opposed to have navigational access to all of it
- like having previous/next buttons? good example of what to do?refunktion

Something like this. Just a simple layout with a touch of JS candy to add a little interest.

I don't like that previous/next buttons force you wade through a bunch of work to get to something you may have wanted to see that was near the end... for me, it's better to have numbered buttons or thumbnails to access any of the work in a particular group

I prefer AJAX when do my dishes, CSS is not strong enough to kill germs, just a thought.

I use what I have coined 'the sandwich test'
in order to pass this you should be able to quickly browse the work while eating a sandwich and ideally be able to simply click without having to move the mouse much of at all.
porn sites could probably have their own sandwich test, but perhaps you wouldn't be eating a sandwich.
