... but I'm looking for a steady job now - I need some potent health insurance (shite health)... so I launched this temp site to work as a transition from the biz to a personal portfolio...
-----------------------
Up until I got my current contract position I was exactly where you are now and, in a lot of ways, I'm still there.
Don't think of it as a "temp" site...its a portfolio / I NEED A FUCKING FULL TIME JOB WITH BENEFITS website...but its not really a temp site....although, if you wanna get deep for a second, I guess EVERY site is a temp site...anyway...
The keys to a good, clean portfolio site are the following:
1) Select images/links from your best work...maybe with a project title and your role on that project.....nothing too crazy.
2) An online html "live text" version of your resume with links to download a PDF and/or a Word version of it.
3) Contact info.
4) About / Bio / FAQ section....call it all or one but whatever you call this section, its an opportunity for you to tell the viewer of the site a little more about yourself before they contact you and it might also help them to decide if they do or don't want to work with you. You want to work in an environment where they are going to accept you for you so giving some insight upfront isn't a bad thing.
