    Not yet for me, although I always have pictures of my last job on my mobile phone.

    I've got some pics on a well know 'find a local trademan' website, so I can direct customers there if they wish, and view my ratings.

    Working on my own website soon.

    I must admit I do carry a portfolio with me to jobs, I don't have a web-site, yet. but I do point potential customers to the TF. to view my work.


    I know I need to get a web-site, as my portfolio needs updating every week

    I always felt stupid, the few times I've offered pictures that is, now I never offer, the web site is still down but used to point people there if they wanted to see works that I had carried out.

    I do. I let them look at it while i size up the job. It also gives the customers some ideas as to borders ect.(mostly having it vertical as a center piece). I find it helps on some jobs.

    I just refer them to the wbsite but if they have no PC i'll show them my portfolio in the van. I think the website looks more proffessional and its that which secures the job! I think its good for customers to read about you and the company rather than just pictures.
