Should my site be more singled out instead of offer many services.

    What is your thoughts of my site???? Im good at designing others I just can't figure out what I want with mine. Should I focus on one service or all my services. To many adds? Should I take my services and seperate it into seperate sites?

    I would recommend splitting your site into two parts. One for the work and one for the tips/ blog. Both parts can be the same design and 'attached' but when you are looking at the design part it should look like a design site. ie. NO ads and show some work. If you have been designing site for 6 years like you claim then you must have something to show for it. Same with the video post production. Show some examples or at the very lest list clients and what exactly you did for them.

    On the blog/ tips section you could have ads but again I would not recommend it unless it has it's own unique domain.

    An excellent example of a portfolio and article/ blog combination is http://www.markboultondesign.com/
    Navigate their site to see how they handle similar issues.

    you get FAR more results form a specialized site than a massive site. One of my professors has a massive site with everything he's done in almost half a century of being a designer and yes, it's a good useful site, but you're so overwhelmed with *EVERYTHING* he's done that it scares you away.

    Recently he realized how silly that was, and started making new sites for each of his soecific abilities and it's been WAY better!
