Selling to Dundee
Worth knowing hereDesign literacy in Dundee is genuinely high, and a weak website is noticed by exactly the clients a creative business wants.
Case studies beat portfolios
A wall of finished images shows what you produced. A case study shows the problem, the constraint, what you decided and what changed as a result — which is what a professional client is assessing.
Three properly written projects do more than thirty thumbnails, because they demonstrate judgement rather than output.
Being specific about your own contribution matters too. Claiming collaborative work as solely yours is quickly noticed in a small sector.
Explain how you work
Clients in these sectors want to know the process: how projects are scoped, how feedback happens, what timescales look like and how changes are handled.
Publishing it removes the risk they are weighing and saves a first meeting spent on logistics.

Questions people here ask
- Portfolio or case studies?
- Case studies. Professional clients assess judgement — problem, constraint, decision, outcome — not a grid of finished images.
- How many projects should we show?
- Few, written properly. Three thorough case studies demonstrate more than thirty thumbnails ever will.
- Why publish the process?
- Because it is the risk the client is weighing. Explaining scoping, feedback and timescales removes it before the first meeting.
