Behance

Behance is still the go-to for showcasing creative work at scale. It’s part gallery, part social network, and part algorithm game. You upload your projects, tag your disciplines, and hope the algorithm picks you up. The volume of work here is staggering. That’s both the appeal and the problem.

There’s undeniable value in being visible on a platform that draws millions of eyes. For younger designers building a name or freelancers chasing leads, it can help you get found. Agencies occasionally mine it for talent, and recruiters definitely lurk. But with the flood of similar styles and trending aesthetics, getting noticed can feel like yelling in a stadium.

The platform itself is clean and familiar. You can upload full case studies, integrate motion, and link out to your personal site or shop. It’s flexible and easy to update, which makes it low-maintenance. Behance also ties directly into Adobe Creative Cloud, so if you’re already in the Adobe ecosystem, the integration is seamless.

If you’re expecting steady traffic, be prepared to work for it. Getting featured or gaining traction usually means playing to what performs well on the homepage. It’s a solid place to plant a flag, but if you want to build a unique presence or own your brand story, this shouldn’t be your only platform.
