Looking For A Great Portfolio Theme?
One of the most important aspects of any freelance writer should be a well designed, easy to navigate portfolio site. Since your portfolio is your calling card, it is imperative you spend some time and effort in designing it to make it attractive for prospective clients.
While I think premium WordPress themes have that extra zest over free themes there is one free theme especially I think would suit a freelance writer’s portfolio site very well.
This theme is called Notepad and you can check it out by following the link. It has some great features. You can change the colors with ease and create a stylish, professional looking portfolio site to showcase your work.
Many of you have probably hesitated to launch your site because you never got around to it. For those of you who grapple with time commitments I can offer a solution.
Take advantage of my ridiculously low offer
I will do the work for you and set you up with your very own portfolio site based on the Notepad WordPress theme. Before you know it you’ll have your professionally designed site ready for business. Usually I charge customers at least $400 for this job alone but to help you get started I have decided to offer this service to my readers for a measly $120. I even include the domain name purchase in this package which means you’ll get a personal domain name (depending on availability worth $9/year) and a fully functional portfolio site based on WordPress including 5 pages of your choice.
You’ll also get three months of free hosting with enough bandwidth and space to cover for your site as well as an email and ftp account to go with your domain. After the three months are over, you will be charged $5/month for hosting if you pay monthly or $50/year if you pay upfront.
I hand over your new site within 48 hours of payment after we have discussed your specifics and ideas. If you are at a total loss as to what to feature on your portfolio site I can certainly help you out with ideas or just go ahead with the design. Whatever you prefer me to do.
I deal with all the issues in regards to buying your domain if you haven’t got one, forwarding your DNS, setting you up with a database and installing WordPress on your domain. I’ll also include some much needed plugins.
All in all this is a ridiculously cheap offer and the only reason I do this is to help you guys get going. I am currently installing websites for clients charging my normal price so this offer will most likely be very popular. To keep things fair for all of you, the pages included in my offer are:
- About me
- Services
- Contact me
- Samples
- Testimonials
You’ll also get a welcome message you featured picture and 5 stock photos of your choice from iStock.com to help your pages gain more visual appeal. If you require additional pages let me know and I provide you with a custom quote.
Work will be done on a first come first serve basis and the offer will not last because most likely I’ll be booked out soon enough.
Grab your chance now and contact me ASAP to secure your spot. Payment is required in full upfront through PayPal and there will be no refund given due to it being such a low cost offer. Use “special portfolio offer” as the subject line please.

Holy cow Monika! This is a totally awesome deal and I think you’re going to make some other blog service providers cry with this one
I agree, Notepad is a very nice looking theme too.
Very cool indeed, this is.

@ Brett: LOL, yeah it is insane but I figured most people struggle with money and if I can help with a little token pay then so be it.

BTW Monika (*hides head*) your shoes are boxed up and ready to go in the mail.
When we finally catch up (soon, I hope), we can talk about that other thing – I have a few ideas along the same lines – maybe I can give some of my talents to help people get off the ground in other ways.
Times are tough all around – if we can give great services and get our names out there, then when times are (hopefully) on the upswing again, people will remember us.

@ Brett: LOL I’d given up hope for the shoes. Maybe there is light still?
Hit me up with your ideas, like you said it can’t hurt to pool our resources and experience. And I’d hope for people to remember me when they need help for sure. I mean how could one forget such a friendly face and smile anyway. 
Enough of the self love, let’s get back to business shall we?
I look forward to chat with you soon.

*blush* chalk it up to Christmas, New Year’s, your vacation (didn’t want the package to miss you!), school break for the kids… so here we are and it is April!!! They’ll be well worth the wait, there is definitely light
Yes, let’s get back to business – we can and will do a lot together. I’ll fire off my thought stream to you by email and then we can chat.
