Ask HN: What are your favorite freelance developer websites?
I'm in the process of creating a website for my development/consulting freelance work, and could use some inspiration.
- Have a blog. This is a common advice you have probably seen many times, but I can say this from first hand experience, that it works. I have received offers just because they came across some of my blog posts.
- Papers and talks: If you have given talks or have written academic papers, have them front and center. They tell a lot about you in a positive way than a thousand words could ever have.
- Unless you are a creative designer, I'd discourage you from reinventing the page design. So don't go for horizontal scrolling, splash pages, or those pie charts that tell everyone you are 90% good at Python.
Good luck.
