Developing my portfolio

Ideally, there are a lot of things I would like to do for my portfolio, but lack both the technical knowledge and patience to acquire said knowledge to even kid myself into thinking I'm going to accomplish them. So, from a pragmatic standpoint, I would like to create a portfolio that allows my readers to move quickly and efficiently between pages. I am less concerned with glamourized aesthetics than convenience. If my readers cannot access certain pages because I have, though inevitably, constructed an enigma, then I feel I have failed in my general purpose. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to do this. I guess my question lies in the organization of all of these elements. The visuals, I feel, will fall into place once I have conquered the organization that drives it all.
