If you are looking forward to excellent opportunities as a freelancer or permanent designer, online presence in front of the employers is very important. The online portfolios are the only means to catch their attention. Now it is pretty tough to impress a person who cannot see your skills practically or you in person. They might chuck your name out of the list looking at the high payment rate you mention on the portfolio without knowing the quality you can produce. So cite the finest samples at the beginning and make sure that the portfolio is performing its best to impress the employers. As I have been a freelancer myself and now am into hiring them, I have few tips up my sleeve that can let you know about the employer’s perspective.
Who is going to look at it?
The first task for you is to identify who all are the potential viewers of your portfolio. There can be two types of visitors -Your employers and new clients. Sometimes your existing clients might also refer to your portfolio in order to find some more information or simply to refer you for another client. Now the most important thing that you need to know about these potential viewers is that they are very much efficient themselves and probably know all the small details of designing. Moreover they even get to see a number of portfolios everyday; hence they tend to find out an easy trick to shortlist the profiles. So make sure you win the game at the beginning because no one is going to give you a second chance as there are many competitors available to outperform you.
