Critique a Portfolio Website Before Sending It to Clients
You're about to send the link to a prospect and you've stared at the site so long you can't see it any more. This assesses the portfolio as business development, not a gallery: whether the first screen says who you are without scrolling, whether the work is selected and ordered to win the job. For the freelancer about to pitch with their site.
