1. Logo And Tagline
First impressions are important. And your logo is one of the first things a visitor sees when they land on your website. Make sure it’s solid and reflects the tone you want visitors to take away from your site.
Taglines? Equally important. A smart tagline is an easy way to set yourself apart from the rest of your field. Just make sure it’s succinct, informative and memorable. Totally easy, right?
2. The Actual Portfolio
This seems self-explanatory, but you’d be surprised. Some prefer featuring their work on a homepage, while others like to have separate pages dedicated to showcasing different projects.
Of course, you want to showcase your highest quality work, but don’t stop there. Add client testimonials you’ve received and even spell out project goals and results whenever possible.
3. Service/Skills Breakdown
You want to make navigating your website as easy as possible, and a services or skills page spells out in detail what you actually do. Don’t make your potential client or boss guess. Because if they have to think too hard, they’re likely clicking off the page.
Map our your services or skills as strongly (and succinctly) as possible. Also, highlight your experience and include testimonials whenever it makes sense.
4. Your Story
Here’s your chance to really show off that personality. You’re not a robot after all. (Right? Right??)
Tell the reader what makes you you. This builds trust, and, if you do it right, endears you to anybody that comes across your site. Which will hopefully be lots and lots of hiring managers.
