Hello again,
I have really been enjoying the awesome articles on SitePoint about what goes into a great website.
Since I am re-branding myself in the field of web design, I am a bit concerned because I now realize I no longer have too much portfolio work to display online. Does anyone have any solutions for a portfolio website that is void of work to be displayed?
My problems are:
The Websites have been re-designed.
I do not have permission to use much of the work.
The designs are outdated.
I suppose I can post mock ups and screen shots. But they are not full websites. I can also use older website and change the content.
Thanks for your help!
Set up a ‘typical work’ showcase. Display artifacts such as banners, tiles, screenshots, etc. and just put a big disclaimer on it that it is NOT an agency portfolio of live, completely designed sites. I’ve run into this same issue. I have to explain to prospective employers/clients that I am one guy, not an agency. Much of my design work is re-done the next time management changes anyway.
I can’t imagine who gets to design a complete site themselves any more.
