Your website is the best place to do this but where your website is hosted and managed can have a massive effect on how much web design control you have over your showcase design.  In this tutorial we are utilizing echo.js to lazy load the images in your portfolio so you have a wonderfully designed portfolio without compromising on page speed or web design.
