But how do you craft a portfolio that speaks to Web3 clients and showcases your potential? Below, we’ll dive into practical tips to help you shine and take your freelancing career to the next level.

Include your client testimonials and ratings

Nothing builds trust faster than a review from a past client. In an industry as new as Web3, reputation is everything. Potential clients are likely to be more cautious when choosing a freelancer in this space, so having strong testimonials can make all the difference in setting you apart from the competition.

In addition to testimonials, displaying client ratings can further boost your credibility. Ratings offer quick, digestible insights into your performance across multiple projects.

⭐
Our platform allows clients to leave star ratings or score your performance in areas such as communication, timeliness, and quality of work.

Focus on quality, not quantity

When it comes to your portfolio, less is more — especially in the Web3 space. Instead of loading your portfolio with every project you’ve ever worked on, be selective. Keep in mind that clients are interested in how you approach challenges, not just the fact that you completed a task.

Rather than overwhelming potential clients with every project you’ve ever worked on, be selective. Pick 4-6 standout projects that demonstrate your expertise and impact. Even if you’re new to freelancing in web3, focus on highlighting transferable skills, such as programming, UX/UI design, or content creation, and show how those skills apply to web3 environments.

HYVE Tip:

Add context to each project - explain why you did it and the impact that you had in developing your client's project.

For example, did you develop a smart contract that reduced transaction costs for a blockchain app? Did you design an NFT collection that sold out quickly? Make sure each project in your portfolio tells a story of how you solved a problem or added value.

Heavy on visuals

In web3, first impressions are often made online - that's why visuals are essential. Don’t just rely on words to showcase your skills - use images, videos, or even demos to make your portfolio more engaging.

📁
Projects can often get highly technical or complex, especially for clients working in the digital field. Visuals can simplify these concepts, making them easier to understand.

Whether you are explaining the mechanics of a blockchain platform or how smart contracts a specific smart contract automates transactions, using diagrams or flowcharts can break down complex workflows into digestible visuals.
