Way I see it is, the outside site is nothing but bullshit designed to drum up business to the uneducated. Guess that's why I dropped my site a long time ago. It's fucking useless. A portfolio does nothing but give away your work to other designers.

However.... the back end is where it's really at. SUPERIOR back end site for your clients.... seamless integration with their day to day operations.... real time updates..... full comps..... tools..... the works. Having your shit together, and delivering a real solution instead of "designer" advertising fluff bs.....
Your clients should not have to WORK to get the work out of you. You, as a designer, are there to make THEM profitable.

And then we have a clear line between the men and the boys.
Aside from your skills, your devshop is what distinguishes you from the everyday so called designer. Not only is it a devshop but it is also well aesthetically pleasing and actually functions.
