Start with one clear purpose
Think about what you want visitors to do within 5–10 seconds: hire you, request a quote, or view your work. Design around that goal and treat each section as proof that you can solve a real problem. Use plain language and a friendly tone so the site feels human.
Core elements to include
- Hero statement that states your role and the primary benefit you deliver.
- Selected work — 6–12 strong pieces with thumbnails and a one-line context for each.
- Case studies showing the brief, your process, and measurable outcomes.
- About & contact — a short bio, a friendly photo, and clear contact options.
- Responsive design and fast loading so your site performs on mobile and desktop.
- Simple navigation and filters so visitors find relevant projects quickly.
Design tips: choose consistent typography, prioritize whitespace, optimize images, and write concise captions that explain the value of each project. Use contrast and hierarchy so the eye lands on the most important action.
