Built my portfolio after 12 years as a Salesforce Developer. Can you brutally rate it out of 10?

Hi everyone,

After spending over 12 years building Salesforce solutions for clients across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, nonprofits, and other industries, I finally decided to build my own portfolio from scratch.

I'm looking for honest, constructive feedback—don't hold back.

Portfolio:
https://ghodasaranatavar.github.io/

I'd really appreciate it if you could rate it out of 10 based on these areas:

1. First Impression

  • Does it immediately look professional?
  • Would you trust this person/company?

2. UI & Visual Design

  • Color palette
  • Typography
  • Spacing
  • Overall aesthetics

3. User Experience (UX)

  • Navigation
  • Content flow
  • Ease of finding information

4. Mobile Responsiveness

  • Does everything work well?
  • Any layout issues?

5. Performance

  • Loading speed
  • Smooth interactions
  • Animations

6. Content Quality

  • Is the messaging clear?
  • Too much or too little information?
  • Any sections that feel unnecessary?

7. Credibility

  • Do the projects look believable?
  • Does the experience feel trustworthy?
  • Would you hire or contact me?

8. Case Studies

  • Are they detailed enough?
  • What would make them stronger?

9. Technical Quality

  • Any obvious frontend or development issues?
  • Accessibility concerns?
  • Best practices I'm missing?

10. Overall Rating

Please give:

  • Overall score (/10)
  • Three things you liked
  • Three things you'd improve

I'm especially interested in feedback from:

  • Developers
  • Designers
  • Recruiters
  • Agency owners
  • Freelancers
  • Anyone who has hired engineers

I'm actively improving the site, so every suggestion will be taken seriously.

Thanks in advance—I genuinely appreciate your time.

Small Salesforce Consulting Team from India – Looking for Advice on Winning International Clients

Hi everyone,

We're a small Salesforce consulting team based in India and are looking for advice from people who have successfully built Salesforce freelance practices, consulting businesses, or agencies.

Our team consists of 3 Salesforce professionals with experience delivering projects across multiple industries. Personally, I have 12 years of Salesforce development experience, hold multiple Salesforce certifications, and have worked on Salesforce implementations, custom development, integrations, Experience Cloud portals, and automation projects for clients across Healthcare, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Real Estate, Nonprofit, and other sectors.

Our expertise includes:

  • Salesforce Development
  • Apex Development
  • Lightning Web Components (LWC)
  • Sales Cloud
  • Service Cloud
  • Experience Cloud
  • Salesforce Integrations
  • Flows & Process Automation
  • Custom CRM Solutions
  • Salesforce Support & Enhancements

We've delivered real-world Salesforce solutions throughout our careers and are now focused on growing our own Salesforce consulting practice.

My portfolio: https://ghodasaranatavar.github.io/

Portfolio highlights include Salesforce projects across Healthcare, Logistics, Transportation, Field Service, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Real Estate, and Nonprofit organizations.

We're primarily targeting clients and partners in:

  • United States
  • United Kingdom
  • Australia
  • Canada
  • New Zealand

I'd genuinely appreciate advice from Salesforce consultants, agency owners, implementation partners, freelancers, and business owners.

Some questions we're trying to answer:

  1. What channels are currently working best for finding Salesforce clients?
    • LinkedIn?
    • Upwork?
    • Referrals?
    • Salesforce ecosystem networking?
    • Something else?
  2. If you were starting today as a small Salesforce consulting team from India, what would be your first 90-day client acquisition plan?
  3. Is it better to focus on:
    • Direct end clients?
    • Salesforce consulting partners needing offshore delivery support?
    • Startups implementing Salesforce for the first time?
  4. Has anyone successfully partnered with Salesforce consulting firms in the US, UK, or Australia as an offshore delivery team? If so, how did you build those relationships?
  5. What trust-building activities have generated the best results?
    • Case studies?
    • LinkedIn content?
    • Salesforce certifications?
    • Trailblazer Community involvement?
    • Technical blogs?
    • Speaking at community events?
  6. Looking at my portfolio, what would you improve to make it more compelling for international clients?
    • What builds trust?
    • What feels missing?
    • What would make you more likely to schedule a discovery call?
  7. What mistakes should a new Salesforce consulting team avoid when trying to enter international markets from India?

We're focused on building long-term client relationships, delivering high-quality Salesforce solutions, maintaining clear communication, and becoming a trusted implementation and development partner rather than competing solely on price.

Any advice, lessons learned, portfolio feedback, or hard truths would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
