Behance – Portfolio and Inspiration Hub for Creatives
History: Founded by Scott Belsky in 2006 and acquired by Adobe in 2012. It was designed to be a more comprehensive portfolio platform than its competitors.
Functionality: Allows creatives to build multi-page projects to showcase the full narrative of their work, from concept to final product. It’s deeply integrated with the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, making it easy to publish work directly from applications like Photoshop.
Future Plans: Tighter integration with Adobe’s ecosystem, development of more advanced discovery tools for recruiters, and enhanced analytics for creators to track their audience.
