Cleanliness is next to godliness, goes the adage, and we’ve taken that to heart in our redesign of your
TAXI + The Creative Finder portfolio page.
We’ve removed all the bells and whistles to leave the portfolios with a cleaner, more professional user interface. The thumbnails and fonts have been enlarged too so viewers will be able to focus on what matters: your work.
And you’ll notice that we’ve also taken out all of our branding elements—no TAXI or The Creative Finder logos—and left the portfolio branded with
your name, the way it should be. All works are copyrighted under your name as well, and not ours. We want your TAXI page to be your personal portfolio site.
To make the portfolios more professional, we’ve updated the ‘Download Resume’ feature to better reflect your CV. There’s also a
LinkedIn ‘Share’ button so you can spread your work to your business social graph.
For members with a store on
The Bazaar, your portfolio now has a direct link to the store so viewers can easily purchase work. And if you don’t have a store already, do check out how you can set one up for yourself
here.
We hope the redesign will make our The Creative Finder platform better suited for your creative and professional needs; and as always, if there’s anything we can do to make our site better, or if you just want to say ‘Hi’, just drop us a mail and we’ll do our best to help.
Below is a quick summary of the key improvements to your portfolio:
1) Your works. Your own brand.
We removed our logos across all our members' portfolio pages. We've also tagged the copyright to your name to make it more prominent towards visitors that you own the rights to the works. The TAXI header/footer have also been cleared, so the focus stays on your works.
2) Neat layout allows visitors to navigate your page easily.
Recruiters and visitors are now able to email you, export your PDF resume, buy your works, or even view a foreign-language edition of your portfolio with the left panel on your portfolio page. (Links vary according to subscription options registered.)
3) Share your updates on LinkedIn easily.
We are the first portfolio network to install LinkedIn's new 'Share' button (in less than 12 hours since LinkedIn launched it!) on your portfolio so you and your visitors can efficiently share all your updates with professional contacts quickly and conveniently.
4) A generous display of all your works
Every impression counts. All thumbnails have been enlarged so viewers can now view all your works at a glance. Remember the rule though -- the best works should always come first.
5) Quick log in with Facebook and Twitter.
You can establish a connection between your portfolio and your Facebook or Twitter accounts, so the next time you are logged in to your favorite social networks, there's no need log in manually on The Creative Finder if you'd wish to edit your pootfolio.
6) Your PDF resume is updated and ready for download.
Recruiters, agencies, and clients generally file creative records in printable formats. You can now click on "Download PDF resume" and all your updated content will be instantly synchronized and laid out in a professional PDF format. It's quick, easy, and you save the time that you'd otherwise use to resize and organize your content.
Why not make this as your own personal homepage?
Log in any time of the day to publish new projects. Every update instantly refreshes your website, your mobile (iPhone/iPad) portfolio, and your The Creative Finder listing simultaneously. And you can even choose to start selling and shipping them globally on The Bazaar anytime you feel like it! It's all so easy, and the best news is, there are no hefty website development costs!
