Sorry to point this out, but you sound more like a recruiter than a designer. I'm sure people would answer your questions if you would ask them a little bit less bluntly.

My answers to your questions are: 1. I showcase the projects I've been working on 2. I don't describe the projects, just point a link to them, they should describe themselves (README, code comments, etc.) 3. Someone very skilled to make them good money with little hassle



I don't describe the projects, just point a link to them, they should describe themselves...

Can't disagree more.

If I'm hiring a freelance developer, I want to be assured of their "here's my problem, help me come up with a solution" abilities. Simply linking to an app they build for a client or a Github project doesn't necessarily tell me everything I want to know. Why does this exist, and what problem was it trying to solve? And did it end up solving said problem, if so — how?


If the readme (or the front facinf page of the project) doesn't answer those questions I wouldn't be interested in it, and even less in its developer.
