Perhaps complete clips from productions you have edited to show off your editng skills?

In case you want to get some inspiration, here is my portfolio/website: www.robertosommella.com
I am a filmmaker and editor, but I work mostly as the latter, so you can relate, I hope.

Just ideas of what you can do:

- create a page for each project you've worked on; even though you have no right to link or publish the full video you've worked on, you can at least describe the full project you've been part of, your role, the software used, the client's name, ecc.

- create a blog page; keep people updated about what you are doing, especially during slow months when you don't work, if you're studying, or working on a personal project; then share the blog on LinkedIn, FB or any other social media, so you can bring people on your website;

- create a page that looks like a CV, say an About Me section, where you can tell a bit of yourself, or put an image of you, or a list of your equipment and such...

- if you are good also at taking pictures, create also a dedicated section for that; it's always good to show that you know different parts of the production process and, of course, if you know of photography, you know of filming and how to better manage this in the post-production process.

Just ideas...

Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Try to build the website like you would edit a story. Try to guide the user through the content and not to distract him from too many features. I think this is the main advice I can give you. Most people who build a website for the first time overload it and embed every feature they know. (Just as people who edit the first time use every possible transition ;))

Keep it clean, fresh and simple and focus on your work, as well as an interesting about you page. Maybe you could write down some thoughts to your projects.

Good luck! :)
