I had less trouble back when I was not working for a few years. Switching jobs is a yellow flag in itself. And often people want to hire someone yesterday, so they're not so willing to hire someone who needs a notice period.

Portfolios are still useful, but they don't get you past the resume screen, only the latter screening processes.

Web tech is in very high demand, so you should have little problem in an average company, at least something better than a non-profit.
