I'm a web designer. what details should I include in my portfolio site?

when accepting clients, rearding the hosting service. Should I be the one to control the cpanel? Should the name be registered to the client and they will be the one to manage the bills(payment)? What about the username and password, should I be the one to manage the account? Changing settings, etc. And is it really important for me to maintain the site? How about the pricing? I don't want to charge a large or neither a small amount. How much is the right price for a basic website? For a site with flash? for an online store?


I'm going to create my own portfolio site but I don't know what to do yet. I don't know how to manage everything. Please help me.

OK, first. Maintenance Contact. that makes sure that you are getting paid for that extra work. get paid for maintaining client's hosting and domain names. coz everytime the clients email goes down, or the hosting goes down (which would be hardly) they will hassle you. having said that, dont overdo it. because you still want to maintain that relationship with them.


Now, your rates. dont keep it low, or else you become cheap. dont be too high coz then you wont get them. keep it high enough, showing you are doing quality work for quality price. i have a motto, you can only get two of these three: quality, price, time. prices: one pager exclusively designed $120, but give a discount for 10/20 page site. coz all the pages will obviously be templated. flash is expensive. one pager - $150 - $200. ecommerce on the other hand, you make your own rule there. i go by programming time. if i am customizing a shopping cart, then i would charge my HTML design rate per page.


Portfolio: create a flash portfolio, online and a cd. that way, you can give the cd's to potential clients, but have most details online. give your best shot for the portfolio cd.put in everything you know. it pays off.

You must include the websites you made as template for Demo.


You can also do this-


1} Add free scripts in your web for other developers.


2}add free backgrounds.


3}Add free Fireworks or Buttons.


ETC.
Reply:In your portfolio you give the URL's of the websites you have designed, and about the management stuff well professionally we are the one managing the website for the client once we make them and we don't charge them once and for all we charge them according to there needs if they want us to manage thier website what we do is we make a MAINTAINENCE CONTRACT with them.





For a site with Flash, well an static page can cost upto $100, so you can have a Flash page to $150
