No matter what business you are in, you need a professional headshot to represent yourself to the world as a business leader. When curating an online portfolio, most companies will have a profile page for their employees on corporate directories and websites. As a small business owner, you have more freedom when creating your online presence and building a website that represents you and your own style. When designing your own business website, you will have options for page layouts and overall site design, and your portfolio page will play a vital role in representing yourself.
For example, image your About Me page with your image large to one side. While square looks natural on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, you have more options on your own website portfolio page. Having your headshot taken in portrait orientation is another way to stand out from the crowd, including more of your body language, to tell a story about yourself beyond what a simple headshot can convey.
Another layout could have your profile portrait in landscape orientation, across the width of the page. In this format, your headshot is larger and and text continues down the page under the portrait.
