Portfolio Feedback Please! jasongiglio.com

I just updated my portfolio this summer and need real critique: jasongiglio.com

I'm not getting much traction on jobs and am wondering about my portfolio's effectiveness. It's feel, content, aesthetics...any feedback helps. Thanks!

Hey Jason,

think from the customer's perspective. What are they looking for?

  1. portfolio
  2. similar projects to what they want to have
  3. a story or images where they can see exactly what you did every step
  4. your "process" for tackling problems and delivering solutions
  5. your news or blog where you share updates

When I'm looking at your website your portfolio page should have

  1. larger images
  2. more images
  3. no "download pdf" at the top
  4. put everything from the pdf on your portfolio page
  5. add your process or methods for helping customers
  6. add a calendly.com/yourname to the website with a call to action that says: want to talk for 15 minutes about your challenges, schedule a call!
  7. on your homepage, please share your best work. You might be having only 3 seconds to convince them.

Hope it helps
