atondex the problem with some companies is that they know almost NOTHING about portfolios and which designer to choose. Talking from personal experience.

That is why I call myself, D.signer.
I don`t know enough about it yet, but
I am willing to learn.
But I understand exacly what you mean.
It's a craft, takes years to learn and study.
I am taking the autodidact route, just because
I have no money, but I wouldn`t call myself a
designer, if ever.

That is why I'm majoring in computer science. I hope to be a software engineer in the future to have a stable job (sadly, I enjoy programming and solving problems). Design will be a hobby and secondary job, unless I can get a good career out of that (I'm thinking longterm... kids, college, etc). I am 19 years old, and I often find myself confused as to what I want to do with my life. But the CS major plan has been pretty stable now.
I heard too many horror stories from fellow graphic artists about freelancing, and the ignorance of customers over choosing something clunky and ugly rather than a neat, aesthetically pleasing design.
But at the end of the day, it is up to the customers!
All you can do is persuade them.
If sweet talking is a skill you have, then USE IT!

honestly, his site doesnt look half bad. nothing special really, but not terrible. also, i would say that talking bad about people is never a good idea. it just makes you look bad. even if you are right, talking bad about people on a public forum will always make you look bad.

He have update his site recently, still he got no clue how to build a site. If you look better its a single picture each page. And he made area buttons. You see it when it load the picture if load one single big picture, I doubt this is made with dreamweaver. Probably frontpage plus photoshop.

No doubt about it. Actually this is the funiest website I've seen so far 
I mean: http://www.enjoydesi...Portfolio-2.jpg
Bwahaha! And that's just for starters!
On the other hand, this is a perfect example of how you're not supposed to make websites.

Oh nowadays small websites can be build rather easily.
Xara started webdesigner 5 recently. so you can basically
build a website without any knowledge but graphic skills.
And some amateurs build some pretty nice webpages.

It's frustrating when things like this happen. It's one thing to be a confident designer and only show potential clients a few samples of your work, but it's uncalled for if you're a "designer" who is just trying to sweet-talk people into paying loads of cash for mediocre, (and possibly copyright-infringing) results.

I also just noticed that the favicon looks a lot like Etsy's...
