» Create a website where others can see your work. Let people know how your website was built by saying something like, “This site was built proudly by scratch, It uses XHTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, MOOTOOLS, and JON DESIGN SMOOTH GALLERY”. Then you could say, “The types used are Verdana, Georgia, and Minion Pro” and was “inspired by many creative designers and friends”.

» Tell the viewer you are willing to collaborate and enjoy working with other people. A good method is to share your skill set by saying, “I can build wonderful websites using XHTML, CSS, ASP.NET or PHP while using JAVASCRIPT to add extra flavor. I’m also familiar with many FORUMS, WORDPRESS, EXPRESSION ENGINE, and I can learn any CMS. Also I work a lot within VISUAL STUDIO 2008 and PHOTOSHOP”.

» Use this site as a platform to share current projects and/or innovative ideas. Ideas like, “Let’s make a game about _____ or let’s make a website that facilitates _____ for countless people”.

» Let future clients, associates or co workers know that you aren’t afraid to try out different methods. It’s apparent to me that the best idea doesn’t always have to follow the norm. It may help to tell them what you currently do, like “I work as a part time web designer at the Student Computing Services, a branch of the IT department at Washington State University. I also dabble in freelance work whenever I have spare time outside of working towards obtaining my computer science degree”.

» Share relevant contact information so people can reach you and discuss/create ideas. On your left, plain and simple :)
