If you’re a designer and are looking for ways to increase traffic to your online portfolio, consider submitting your site to online design galleries. Online design galleries let visitors vote for sites. The higher the rating, the better the chance of becoming a featured site — which can land you on the front page of the gallery.
Here are five online galleries to which you can submit your site:
www.bestwebgallery.com
www.designmeltdown.com
www.mostinspired.com
www.dailyslurp.com
