Ask your client what New websites they already like and try to envision how the future site would look like.
Have a mind map of what the New website would look like and then write it on a piece of paper. Pre-design planning saves you time, money and resources.

The portfolio is the best medium for New web programmers. It is used to showcase their skills and aesthetics. More importantly, it shows future clients that you are current, relevant, and active in the New web design world of right now. The portfolio gives you a solid evidence to show the world what you are capable of.
