In consideration of the state of the economy it is important to look your very best as a creative professional. It is safe to say competition is stiff. When you present your demo reel or portfolio to prospective clients, you have to remember it’s not just about proving you can do the work, but instead it is about how spectacularly you perform your duties.
If you are running your own business, you need a way to present your work-in-progress online in a password-protected area. Many clients expect it these days. If you have our Enterprise Edition, you can use our powerful client access system. Your website will have a link that says, “Client Access”, and your client would be able to click on it, and enter a passcode to view your work-in-progress.
WhosCreative is excited to announce a new service we have in store…our in-house designers will create made-to-order websites for creative professionals and businesses. They will be world class sites to help you increase your exposure while enhancing your interactions with clients. We will soon put up some examples on our website.
