What a graphic designer website needs to do
Prospects want to see your work and know how you operate. Show projects, services and a simple inquiry.
A designer’s own site is a sample of the work. Clients look at the clarity of the portfolio, how projects are explained and how easy it is to get in touch. Show a handful of case studies with the problem, the approach and the result, and keep the inquiry form short.
