    Categories:
    Serivces / Portfolio (which should have sub categories that will separate each type of designs that you have)

    Design, Color Scheme & logo: this you should figure out yourself since you are a designer ;)

    Introduction: make it short and impacting outlining your qualifications

    Marketing & SEO: there are so many ways to market your site, you should post a separate thread about it in the marketing section of the site

    Branding yourself: you need to brand your name &/or logo. Ask for credit at the footer of your sites that you design.


    4 years of graphics design work is a lot. However, are you going to show the clients everything you've designed within 4 years? I'm assuming your skills have improved greatly so I would just show the most recent and best work (quality over quantity).

    Good luck ;)
