Steven, Behance added the option to disable the right click when they created Adobe Portfolio. The reason being is a lot of professionals do not their work stolen or downloaded. Example... I know one artist whose work was stolen and used by a company. Since the company was not in his country it took him forever to get them to stop using his work. Second example is reason it is good to disable the right click is that there are some people who will swipe soneone's art and claim it as their own,which is sad. I know it you put your work online you run the risk of people stealing or copying your work.... but you have show your work and just deal with the catch 22 per say. As far as it looking like Word Press... because I moved to Germany, I set up the menu so hiring managers could find content relating the to the job they are considering me for. I would never have thought about cultural differences when viewing a portfolio until I moved to Europe. In Germany, traditionally you learn one thing because they want you to be an expert at it. This is different from the US where you can be talented in more than one area. Example, a German recruiter once told me an Art Director can not write copy.... which we all know is not true. Now this mindset is changing with younger Germans.... but it is something that one has still deal with. So for my Adobe Portfolio site... I wanted to clearly point the hiring managers in the right direction. Makes sense right? Hope this explains the layout I chose and why I disabled the right click.
