Present side-work expertise and examples on a personal website

Summary

Present your side-work expertise with relevant examples, clear project responsibilities, realistic availability, and practical enquiry information for clients.

Published

Show the work you offer, supporting examples, and availability

Self-branding means communicating your expertise and work consistently so people recognise your specialism. Start the site with a concrete service description.

Side work has limits on capacity and response times. Describe what you can actually provide and review permission for work examples and employer information.

Describe one service concretely

Explain tasks and deliverables alongside your specialism. Even for a broad service, give representative examples and state what an initial discussion determines.

Include relevant experience in your profile. Review permission before using your current employer’s name or materials.

Attach responsibilities to each work example

Add the request, your work, and the production period. Identify collaborations and personal projects without inventing customer outcomes.

When several images explain one project, choose alternatives according to each image’s contribution. W3C explains text alternatives for groups of images. (W3C WAI: Groups of Images)

Explain capacity and response methods

State accepted work, information needed to enquire, and the usual response window. Explain when deadlines must be discussed after assessing the request and workload.

Update the page when pausing acceptance. Start with one clear service example and a contact channel, then improve explanations using enquiry questions.
