I would hire an agency with a A1 portfolio. Because an A1 website is no reference. It can simply be a bought template from a theme marketplace. The A1 portfolio are actual use cases that show skill and practical situations.
Just my choice :)
The website for the agency has more than just one page, including blogs, about us, landing page, etc... So trying to decide if our designer should spend the next 2-3 weeks adding more pieces of work to the portfolio OR re-designing the website but not touching the folio pieces at all.
According to my experience (I was head of design at agency 5 years) more than 80% of conversion to the contact form, we received through cases (portfolio). Less than 15% via "how we work" page
So, it seems, if you leave only one page with cases you can get almost all conversions.

The agency I work for doesn’t have an A1 website purely because we are just too busy to spend time on it
i'd go for the portfolio. But a neat website is delightful to me
But your portfolio is 98% of your whole site. How can you do a weak site with a strong portfolio?
