Second on the website. I mean no offence, but the current design of the website would cause me to never hire your girlfriend. The logo font is pretty bad and the design is too wide. Make it really simple and responsive.
I'd recommend doing away with the categories that you design for and just include a page with sample work basically a portfolio.
If someone is looking for a graphic designer they are going to be turned off if your website looks pretty bad :( The logo also needs some work if you expect someone to pay you to design a logo.
I don't see why it's better to create a general portfolio app. Then what's the strategy to get new clients? I mean, the purpose of the categories is to have landing pages that rank on google and have good score for adwords
I get that but maybe put those keywords as examples of things you do. I'd imagine you want to take any design work possible so at least make sure you have an easy process to make inquiries. Also your pages are basically the same which just strikes me as kind of weird.
