Better separation of site?
August 28th, 2008
Should I separate this site into two? A web design business site and a blog? I modeled this site after the those of designers I admire, like Elliot Jay Stocks and Veerle Pieters. But they’re big name, successful designers, not unknowns like me. Would it be better if my business site were more professional looking, without all the bells and whistles that I really enjoy such as the flickr and twitter badges? Does it turn off potential clients to see my inane twitter posts? Or my goofy photos?
I could do something like what Jen has done over at Pop Stalin. Although I like the blog design with its vector-licious birdies better than the business site, the business site carries the warm, casual tone of the blog, and is professional and friendly at the same time while clearly separating business from the personal.
I’ll give it some time and see how business goes. So far, all my leads are coming from referrals and not from my site, so now is probably not the time to worry.
