⚡️How many projects do you need in your portfolio?⚡️
Hey Webflailers - it’s Jack.
2 days until I leave sunny Buenos Aires to re-start my life in cold, rainy England. I have this weird hankering to nest - buy a washing machine, rent my own flat and put plants everywhere. As part of this "sorting my shit out," process, I'm also thinking more and more about getting back in to freelancing but not just do "any project any time," like before which was an utter disaster because my portfolio was a mess (literally a quote from an agency owner that roasted my current portfolio)
Anyway, on to today's Roundup.
- How many projects do you need in your portfolio?
- Interview with Isabel Edwards
- 3 Jobs for Webflowers
- 3 Inspo Websites
Let's hop, skip and a-jump in to this cheeky chappy.

How many projects do you need in your portfolio?
This question seems to be a hot one right now with people working on their portfolio's before 2024 so I thought it would be healthy to explore. If you're anything like me, you're probably doing projects for friends and family and made up passion projects while also trying to attract clients by cold outreach. It can be insanely stressful trying to build your portfolio while also trying to earn your first freelancing money.
We'll cover:
1) What portfolio pieces do you make?
2) How many projects do you need in your portfolio?

Ep 67 | How To Find Your Place In The Webflow Community | With Isabel Edwards
Now, I know Isabel from a Webflow meetup that I organised in London at the start of this year, and then I met her again at Barcelona meetup organised by Tambien Studios. She is a good egg which you're about to hear!
The failures that we will talk about today are:
- Positioning and winning big deals
- Branding beyond Webflow
- Reduced scopes just to win the deals, sacrificing our process

Webflail Shoutout
Alessia Sannazaro included us in a beaut list on Twitter:
While we're on the topic, these guys are killing it. If you like Webflail, I sincerely recommend some well established peeps like Yo with Rob Hope, but also some new peeps in the content space like Matt Evans and Ailín Tobin with Visual Div.

Jack Freelancer Hey Webflailers - it’s Jack. Imagine trying to punch a ghost. Jasper would be untouchable ya know? Dipping and weaving like Canelo + you can't see him. Despite this, it always amazes me when talking to Webflow freelancers how little they know who they freelance for.
