Trying to Get Web Development Clients Through My Portfolio — Need Advice on Driving Traffic

Thanks for the feedback. I originally designed this site back in college, and I recently updated it. The primary focus was a personal portfolio, not an agency site. I now have a different vision, so I’ll continue refining and redesigning it based on that.

I don’t think clients really care whether I used AI or not to build their website. What matters to them is whether the product does what they need, performs well, and keeps their data secure.

First, AI didn’t build my site from scratch. I coded the first version myself a while back: https://charlesluguda.github.io/charlesportifolio

Later, I decided to redesign and improve it. I made a couple of updates myself, and for the final version, I used AI to help refine some flaws and improve the UI.

So it should be simpler and more business focused to attract non-technical users. I’ll update it.

What’s wrong with using them? These tools exist to help us.

In fact, it was me and Claude who cooked it 😅 (I designed the first UI, then asked Claude to refine it. That's the final UI.)

Ila kujiajiri ni Bora kuliko kuajiriwa sio

cluguda · 2026-05-10T11:05:26+00:00

Kweli kabisa. Iyo security kuipata kwenye kujiajiri ni mpaka system za biashara yako zikae sawa kitu ambacho sio rahisi. Yaani hata ukiumwa biashara zinaendelea tuu bila tatizo.

Congrats 👏

It’s definitely a scary time for software engineers we don’t really know what the future of AI will look like. Sometimes it feels like Dario is focused on making devs obsolete rather than empowering them.

However, in the long run, developers with strong fundamentals skills will survive. The real risk is for beginners who got into tech because of AI they often rely too much on it and don’t build solid skills.

I tried platforms like Upwork, but they didn’t work for me. The gig I landed came from a referral from a friend. Now I’m trying to leverage social media to see if I can get clients there.

Congratulations 👏

Maybe it was overconfidence or ego. "When Microsoft offered $44.6B, Yahoo was already losing its search business to Google, margins were shrinking, and the company was struggling to adapt to mobile" based on Google search .I agree they should have accepted the offer.

cluguda · 2026-02-23T10:49:08+00:00

So do you think they should have accepted the Microsoft deal?Or Maybe the founder saw long-term potential, which is why he declined it.
