Stuff to include in portfolio...

My company, Sensation Designs, used to do mostly web design. However, we are now getting into graphics as well as programming. I did one website myself, which included both a complete website, and PHP programming so that the client could easily update pages, as well as one that was often updated - a photo album.

My question is, should I just classify it all under my "web design" category in the portfolio, or have it twice, one in each section... (obviously one for the programming part, and one for the web design)

Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
The good thing about operating your own company is that you pretty much have the freedom to do what you want - so in the end it's your call. Personally, I'd recommend including it twice, especially if you don't have a lot of other programming projects. Nothing looks worse than a design company with a blank portfolio in a certain area of services. Good luck!

I agree with Brian, until you build up your portfolio so you can include projects just once in each section but have each section looking full, include it as many times as necessary. That way if someone comes to your site looking for some programming they'll see you can do it without having to search around.
