How to build a portfolio as a beginner web designer?

Question

Freelance

In general, in Photoshop I can draw a site of any complexity, but in order to take the first order, you need to work out a portfolio without technical specifications, somehow you don’t want to come up with works from the air that do not exist, what can you tell me how to start? Or where to get a job for free, even at first.

Answer 1

Strange question) Does the designer have no portfolio? Draw!
No one to draw for money? No one to draw for free? Do for a fictitious organization. The portfolio itself will not appear, and taking someone else's is bad)
Start in your free time ;) Then, if necessary, you can use these developments in real projects. If you don’t want to fill your hand in this way, then take the site and improve its structure / design. You can take bad sites and remake them, then write a commercial offer to the owners.
Eight years ago, I didn’t have a portfolio either, and I redrawn websites, placing logos of non-existent companies. Then he changed them to a portfolio of real orders.

In general, these are just words. Think for yourself: either show your ability, or sit without work.

Answer 3

Draw websites for all your friends and acquaintances

Answer 4

Do you have only design, without layout?
We’re muddling one thing now, but there’s no strong front-end in the team, although I agree with bootstrap, but I’m ready to write “Design and layout ...” in a separate line in the footer and a link wherever you want, even to your profile on FL or to a personal website .

Answer 5

Make me a portfolio site.
