There’s no place like home! The homepage of your portfolio website is the first impression you will likely make on potential clients, so make it count! In this, our second in our “Portfolio Site Pro-Tips” series, we will take a look at some “above and beyond” things you can do to make your homepage work even harder for you and your design business.
We talk homepage “welcome” videos, social media sharing strategies, a way of keeping your homepage content fresh automatically, and how to properly entice your potential clients to stick around your site to see everything you have to offer.
In our listener question segment, we talk about what design skills are the hottest, and how to go about getting work from big companies.
Please share your homepage in the comment section below. We would love to see how you are utilizing yours!
