Hi all. I'm updating my freelance site and would like some suggestions and feedback. When I created http://www.christianleonard.com 3 years ago, my goal was to make a sort of "poors mans" version of 2advanced.com. I wanted to gain logo, print, and web design work. It also helped me learn flash and get some good flash work. Of course, things have changed over the last 3 years, and though im not sure flash is dying, I would like my site to reflect more current and well rounded capabilities. My site is sorely lacking in many areas, and my thoughts for the 2011 version are:
Functionally, I'm going to add a "quick quote request form". I'm also going to add a more in depth web design quote form. The services section will be more in depth, with graphic examples and added services like social networking. I also want to have a "Process" page that explains the stages of the design process, somewhat like: http://www.netmongrel.com/design-process.htm
Graphically, I like these sites and want to emulate elements of their look/feel.
http://www.groundctrl.com/ - Like the simplicity and how it emphasizes the projects theyve done.
http://www.45royale.com/ - Simple, clean and well organized.
I guess I have two main questions. One, would anyone suggest any other functionality or sales/marketing oriented additions for my site? Or any sites they think have a cool look/feel or layout? Thank you for any suggestions!
