Why Every Freelancer Needs a Website

Clients Find You

When potential clients Google "freelance designer London", your site can appear. No website = invisible to search.

Build Credibility

A professional website signals you're serious. Clients trust freelancers with proper online presence more than social-media-only profiles.

Showcase Your Best Work

Your portfolio on your terms. No platform limitations, no competing profiles right next to yours.

Justify Higher Rates

Professional presentation = professional pricing. Clients expect to pay more for freelancers who present themselves well.

What Your Freelance Website Should Include

About You

Your story, experience, what makes you different. Clients hire people, not just skills.

Portfolio/Work Samples

3-6 of your best projects. Quality over quantity. Show results where possible.

Services Offered

Clear list of what you do. Helps clients self-qualify and sets expectations.

Testimonials

Social proof from past clients. Even 2-3 good testimonials make a huge difference.

Contact/Hire Form

Make it easy to get in touch. A simple form works better than just an email address.

Social/LinkedIn Links

AI creates all of these sections automatically based on your description.
