Take a look at my blog setup, I categorize by subject a whole lot of posts with a drop down menu and each subject has its own url and each post in the subject/category of course has its own url also.. I don't see why you can't adapt this method to show your portfolio of work.
Thank you for your reply! Looks like you use my workaround idea in practice. Did you ran into any issues?

Hi,
I have a question if my idea for a "dynamic" portfolio is correct and is possible to do in Squarespace.
Case: I provide services, have use multiple skills, that I would like to present in my categorized portfolio. I apply to multiple employers and businesses as a freelancer. In creative field, it is almost certain that I would be asked for portfolio. Usually business want specialised portfolio for a specific task, uncategorised portfolio with unrelated skills/projects is a bad look.
Example: I wrote content of an e-book, designed the layout, then was asked to adjust the layout for print, provided html email layouts for marketing team etc. In portfolio, I can present that I can: write copy, design a layout, know DTP rules, can code marketing emails.
A solution suggested on forums: is to create multiple portfolio pages and then link to them from a single page using gallery. This solution doesn't allow for tags & categories, works more like folders on a desktop.
My idea: is to create another blog type page, write the whole case study and my roles in the project. Create single page, put summary blocks that would show work from single tag or category.
If you have any tips how to solve this, please let me know.

I agree it's terrible. Why do I have to make separate designs for desktop and mobile? Mobile version is terrible, never looks as intended. I don't want to move boxes all day like a warehouse employee. I bought Squarespace for my website because ut was simple, looked great. Now it's more clunky than Wordpress that I hate with passion.
