What Makes a good portfolio website?

This website was extremely pleasing to walk through. Even though I didn’t particularly like his work I enjoyed his website. The music created a welcoming atmosphere that blended with the colors as well. It wasn’t like I was just going in to see art. It was like I was entering a gallery or some sort of cozy room with musicians and it made me feel at home. Even if I couldn’t find what i was looking for i wasn’t frustrated with it.
Plus the color gives it a greek feel, which goes well with the type of art that he does. Sort of like a rustic Greek street or something of the like. Everything blended well.

This website wasn’t nearly as good. No music, and it seemed much more commercial, which destroyed a sense of intimacy with the art. However it was very easy to navigate, and organized.

This website looked almost like a blog, which I didn’t like the lack of formality. Plus the links at the top weren’t really needed, because you could just scroll down (I didn’t like that). The colors were nice, but they weren’t very original. The colors looked like they were from some sort of stock, and that says something about her work indirectly.
