When designing fake websites to put into my portfolio, is it in my best interest to make a full blown website piece as if it were a real website with multiple pages? Or would one concise landing page piece showing off exactly what I can do to make it look and feel good be okay?

A landing page, a basic site layout with functioning buttons, possibly an app or two. I know in schools they wanted us to choose roughly six best pieces. But somebody else might come in with other thoughts, hopefully.

If a company needs a landing page then that will work in your portfolio. If a company is looking for more complex and technical websites a landing page may not be enough.

11,157 PointsYeah, that's how my school set me up, but for some reason I never felt like it might be "enough". Good to hear you've had a similar experience.
