It is my belief that anyone who wants to do web design should have an awesome, flawless, feature-rich site of their own. I have laughed at and put down many a web company whose own company website just reeked of inexperience, incapability, laziness, or all of the above. How can they expect to attract customers, quality designers, anybody with a web presence like that?
Well I am ashamed to admit that I have now found myself in that spot. Web design and programming are things I love. It would be a dream job for me to be able to do it for a living. This site, my web presence, however, doesn’t reflect that very well. This site is, quickly frankly, awful. How can I expect to attract clients, employers, or collaborators with this site? I don’t think I can.
Until this point, word of mouth has brought me most of my business, and for that I’m very thankful. I pride myself in putting my best into my work, and that best has come a long way since I started making websites back in the day. My portfolio is still fairly limited, though, and so it’s about time to freshen up my own web presence in order to practice what I preach.
The game has now been set, now let the planning begin…
