Your Portfolio


Is it important for you/your company to have quality images of your competed work (regardless of marketing budget cuts)?

How about complete images of your quality work?

Sure these give your potential customer an idea of how good your work looks.
I would also like to include before pics too. Along with the presentation.

Re: Your Portfolio


Of course it's important. You're not going to sell much with crappy photo's Invest in a good camera and have a good time with it. Eventually you will be able to get yourself some great photos. Then you just put them on your website.

Re: Your Portfolio


If you read the TOS you will see why you were thought of as SPAM. You don't push your sevices on your first posts, we consider that SPAM. If you join the community and post a while and happen to slip your services in a post while you are discussing other things it will go over much better. If you would like to advertise here I am sure Nathan can set up an account with you.

And since you put a link to your website, trolling for contractors to go there and possibly buy your services, then yeah, it is spam.
