Years ago I had a Squarespace website. It worked well, and I was making enough to justify the cost easily. I’ve been employed full time now for years and not used a website with any real intention for some time. A year ago I tried Adobe Portfolio. It was fine. Slightly cheaper than Squarespace, but this was a 2nd Adobe subscription alongside my work one. After a year I ended it.
I’ve recently been trying out Carrd. Now bear in mind, my life has changed a lot in recent years and every penny counts. Currently I’m using the free version but even the lowest paid version is 10x cheaper than anything else - and while I’m looking to get occasional freelance work on the side of my job, “free” and “almost free” is basically my price range.
With that in mind, and aside from any helpful tips like “just use squarespace” or “use Wordpress” (no thank you, not today), I’d welcome some feedback on this simple one-pager I’ve put together for the purpose of giving people a clean, quick and easy look at my work to decide if I’d fit their project, without getting bogged down in multiple pages or hiding lots of work behind thumbnails. At work I have to be an art chameleon changing styles with every project, so I’d like my freelance jobs to fall more within “my” style, which is why that’s mostly what’s on display. I also can’t show anything from my current job.
Anyway, that’s enough waffle.
TLDR - new site, any thoughts?
