For Sienna Rhodes, I designed the homepage around one idea: the portfolio should come first.

Photography clients usually want to know one thing before they read about your process, your packages, or even who you are: Do I connect with your work?

So instead of opening with a traditional introduction, the homepage leads directly into the portfolio and lets the imagery make the first impression. The supporting copy and details come later, once the work has already created that initial connection.

I’m curious where other designers and photographers land on this. Do you prefer a portfolio-first homepage, or do you think the photographer’s story should come first?

Portfolio first, every time for photography. Nobody hires off a process paragraph, they hire because one image stopped them scrolling. The story matters, but it lands harder after the work has already made the case. That start here slider does the pitch by itself.

NORDEN — Outdoor Gear Landing Page 🏔️

NORDEN is a premium outdoor gear landing page concept inspired by extreme environments, exploration, and high-performance equipment.

The design combines dramatic icy landscapes, bold typography, and vibrant orange accents to create an immersive experience that captures the spirit of adventure.

Special attention was given to:

A cinematic hero composition featuring an explorer in extreme conditions.

Oversized typography that communicates strength and confidence.

A cold blue-and-orange color palette inspired by alpine environments.

Clear CTAs that guide visitors toward the collection and expedition.

Responsive mobile layouts that preserve the visual impact.

Minimal navigation that keeps the focus on the experience.

The result is a visually striking digital concept that connects outdoor performance with premium product storytelling.
