Clients appreciate the thought process more than the final result of which they don't know much about. If you're only pushing pixels, than it's fine to show just pixels. But if you want to work with customers who are looking for results, you should add a page of text for each of those projects, where you explain what was the problem and how you came to the solution you did.

Look, “minimalist” works for people who don’t need to impress—their name is enough. For you, however, this is not the case. You need to explain your process, thoughts etc to impress. Also, omit emojis.

nice work. elegant, simple and to the point.

Beautiful. One of the best minimal portfolios I've seen.

Very modern and friendly, I like it!

Very nice! Similar aesthetic to https://www.julian.com

Looks cool, but a minimal site with a rocket emoji in the favicon?
