Best way to show/make your portfolio?

I’m thinking about creating my own portfolio of the work that I’ve created. So i’ve been wondering, are there any good websites or ways to make your portfolio? How should a portfolio be created? Should there be pictures or videos or both? A lot of pages or one or two pages? Should there be a lot of colors, or be monochromatic?
Please go in depth with your response and/or even post your portfolio! I could use any advice that I could get.
