service
Now-a-days there is a lot of competitions in the web development sectors. In order to
keep ahead in the competition and to turn the general clients into prospective buyer you
have to make your portfolio website most attractive and appealing.
Your portfolio website will be a symbol of yourself, be a mock-up of your work, and
offer clients a means to get in touch with you.
One should maintain the following guidelines for making his/her portfolio website
appealing to the prospective clients.
Unique logo – You should give a professional prominent logo in your website that may
include your company name or very short description about your business like website
design/website development etc. Alternatively you may also use ‘Alt’ tag. Don’t use any
clip art or fancy script in your logo.
Attractive tagline/headline – You may use some taglines/headlines in your website as
the 80% of your visitors will see your headlines initially before entering your site. The
tag lines will provide vital information about your service and performance indicating
what makes you different among other competitors in the market. The text in the tag line
should be brief and relevant so that it can grasp the attention of the prospective clients
and compel them to stay in your site.
Good portfolio or Samples of your work – Create a detailed portfolio of your
completed projects as prospective clients will quickly glimpse at your site and if nothing
grasps their attention, they will bounce out.
Brief overview of your services – Provide detailed description about the normal &
specialized services you offer as the client can easily select you if your service meets
client’s requirements. Break up your total services into different segments as much as
possible. The term ‘Web development’ is used in a broad way that may includes Flash
design, HTML, Java Script, different kinds of programming languages like PHP, MySQL
etc., CMS web design, OS-commerce Solutions, Logo design, Banner design ….many
more. So don’t inform your clients just saying you only provide web development
services.
If you specialize in designing for certain type of clients, you must indicate it by saying
"specializing in OS commerce Solutions for those who want to sell their products online".
About you page – In about us page, try to give personal information about yourself or
about your company’s activities so that the clients get some clear pictures before the
project handover. Personal information may include your background, your location, how
many years you've been in the business, your skills etc. Also don’t forget to include your
picture - this allows them to see with whom they are actually deal with and builds trust.
This is the place where you can show off any awards and recognition you have earned
regarding your service. This will add a great value to your service.

2. Contact page - This is the most vital page on your website. If you overlook this page
without giving proper location and contact details the client will find it difficult to contact
you if the client requires your services. Include all the probable options you want to be
contacted, such as phone, email address, instant messenger, fax, skype etc. Your contact
page may increase your revenue to a great extent.
Testimonials – Give some reviews of the clients with whom you have worked previously
and successfully completed their projects. These reviews will create good testimonials for
work and add reliability on your performance.
Increase the interest of your visitors to take the plunge – If any visitors visit your site,
your intention will be to get a quotation from that visitors, the visitor contact you for
more information or the visitor leave his/her contact details.
The greatest possible way to acquire their information is to offer something in return.

blogs, technical papers etc.
