I personally disagree with having a Github profile as your portfolio, it should be more of an introduction.

Your personal website/portfolio is a great opportunity to showcase your coding and design skills in practice. As a web developer, it just makes more sense to display your projects and info in code rather than markdown.

This can obviously be a bit tricky for back-end developers but I'd say with much simpler UI they can place more emphasis on their projects rather than design.

Your projects are a great way to showcase your closing and design skills... Which are on GH. You can be pretty creative with the HTML and MD in GH special repo.

I'm a strong proponent for there is no one right way to be creative or present yourself.
