Jeremy Keith Portfolio
Co-founder of the design consultancy Clearleft (2005) and author of five web development books, including Resilient Web Design and Going Offline, with a personal site holding over 3,000 journal entries and 80+ long-form articles spanning two decades of front-to-back web practice.
What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
A published body of work that outlives any single project
Five books, all still freely readable online, give a durable record of technical philosophy (progressive enhancement, resilience) that a project gallery alone can't communicate.
Journal entries kept separate from formal articles
Splitting quick journal notes from polished long-form articles lets visitors choose their depth of engagement — a structural decision that shows real information-architecture thinking applied to his own site.
A named agency track record instead of solo-freelancer framing
Being a named co-founder of an established consultancy running since 2005 signals sustained, collaborative client work rather than one-off gigs.
What Web Developers can take from this
Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.
If you've written longer-form material (books, guides, talks), link it prominently — it demonstrates depth a project list can't.
Separate quick notes from polished writing so visitors can self-select how much time to invest in your content.
Co-founding or sustaining an agency for years is worth stating plainly — it signals durability, not just a single successful project.
