What makes for a good personal portfolio website?
1. Identify yourself with a logo.
2. Let people know what you do by making a short, snappy tagline.
3. Make your portfolio. It has to have big high quality images. If it is a website, link the live version of the website, and link it via the screenshot.
4. Put more details in your services, aside from the tagline.
5. Place details about yourself.
6. Don’t forget to place a means for people to contact you. An easy to use contact form could help.
7. Blog about what you are doing, or talk about what you do. It helps keep your site from being static.
8. Place a call to action. What do you want viewers to do? Hire you, request a quote, view recent work?
9. Use social networking websites to encourage visitors to follow you there.
10. Be friendly and personal, but also clear and precise with your communication.
