Even NorthKingdom has to ditch flash for it's environment to showcase its creative... that says something. But no honestly the update is a little less than I expected.

They dont need a fancy site, their work does all the talking.

Content IS king.

well, i think at least Joshuadavis took a shot at Wordpress in a creative way (while it is not for me personally...) and tried to make something out of it, push it or tweak it some. i find the northkingdom site a bit sloppy and unhappy, dull maybe even boring which does not let the work shine harder imo. it's like a great floor in a poor room. it would be better if the room was neat all over.

^^i mean it really doesn't matter what framework you build your site with, but your own site is a piece of your work such as any other client work you showcase and highlight, so yeah I guess I dont quite understand why that needs to be less beautifully executed or presented. typically your own work, be it website, campaign or annual report can help you make ripples in the industry as well. this site sure doesnt.

"but your own site is a piece of your work such as any other client work you showcase and highlight" - I agree with this, it seems a little arrogant that the big studios don't want to put effort into their sites anymore as they know they will still get good clients and big budgets anyway.
I think this trend will pass, when the big studios stop making Flash sites and are forced to use HTML5 I bet you they start making really nice HTML5 portfolio sites too.
All the portfolio sites that get used by individuals like Krop and the other ones that get censored here also show a lack of effort from individuals too.
