Another Technique you can use to get actual clients to build your portfolio is to offer free projects to non-profits, NGO's etc and in return you can charge them a detailed review or feedback.
@juanmantz
Like it! Although I think a KEY part for the 6 figures business is sales. Besides the key more technical parts of design I mean.
@WhiskeyThieves
While I understand Ran's perspective, it's important to recognize that this represents a significant investment of time and resources with no guaranteed outcome. In our industry, designers are often exploited, particularly when interviewing for jobs. It's common for employers to request test design projects, only to ghost candidates afterward. Although this situation involves poaching client work, the risks are still very real.

@TheDomainDesigners
Optimistic video, and pretty good general information. Straight to the point. We are currently working and would love to hear from other new web developers.
@EdgarsKalniņš-y4o
Loved the behind-the-scenes look.

To those starting: You don't need to be building award-winning sites with fancy interactions. Most businesses need a nice, clean, professional-looking design with SEO and CTAs
@DukeBluDvlz
Great video, but I truly disagree with one point you make, when you said to provide free work for prospective clients. You should never ever work for free, even when just trying to get your foot in the door (unless you are helping family or a close friend to build a portfolio). Especially if you are targeting the super-wealthy demographic, always charge MORE than the average competition. A higher price tag alone conveys you are providing something special that others are not, and this triggers interest to your prospective client. There are other ways to provide value for free or low cost, such as a consultation call, e-book showing the benefits of good web design, blog on your site, etc.

- I can build - trust issues - feedbacks / reviews - design a website, then offer them as free - if you do something for them, they will do something for you. -

Websites are an essential thing for businesses nowadays.
@HanifCarroll
I recently watched one of the earlier videos where you recommended doing wireframing with pen and paper and then translating it to Figma because tools like Relume can box your creativity into only considering the types of components that they have. Are you now more of a fan of Relume? How do you implement it into your process?

I wouldn't be able to create the Responsiveness of my Portfolio header in Webflow/Framer as I have to check more than 3 breakpoints, plus I have to check height as well (landscape and portrait modes) so everything properly accomodates on EVERY possible device. I have many media-queries and even nested media-queries, there are even media-queries to target "fine" (mouse) or "coarce" (non-mouse, finger (mobile/tablet)) or to reduce motion for people who have this settings enabled for example.

Adding One more step would be better and the step is "Marketing"

Nothing happens without sales. :)

Use AI to make VARIOUS content for your web sample for customer. So, you can have sort of boutique websites.
