What I produced as mockups was *very* rough -- too rough to charge him
anything. If you want to see *how* rough, go to http://home.att.net/~bgranat/ and click Web Design Samples.
The funniest thing is that I don't represent myself as a Web developer and
he just liked my Web page. I was job-hunting one night and I ran across this
company's patent Web site. It has a technical problem that spoiled an
otherwise wonderful Web experience, so I dropped a note to the Webmaster. A
couple of days later the prospect sent me an e-mail message asking whether I
created Web sites.
If my work is good, I'd put it in my resume. Right now, though, I'm just
using a link on my Web site. All of those samples are just raw sketches,
really. Do you think it's ill-advised to put them on my site? Also, at what
point does one give oneself another job descriptor?
