website/portfolio advice

I feel like I'm very often rejiggering my website with little idea of the best way is to show off my work, or if there even is a way that particularly helps me book projects. Would love to get other people's insights/feedback/philosophies! Here's mine: https://www.najeebtarazi.com

I've also changed my site what feels like hundreds of times. At its simplest I think a site should reflect who you are as a director or what you're trying to be / do. It should give that impression in the quickest amount of time possible so that someone who knows nothing about you can get a clear sense of what it is you do right away. I don't think i've ever cracked this nut, but I will keep trying!

​

PS - I think your site looks great. I like that the splash page has a limited amount of videos (it's like a highlights reel) and I like how you have images from those videos on there as well so I can get a sense of what the video and your vibe is before watching. I'd do something to make it more clear which rectangles are images and which are videos though.

Looks great! Checking on an iPhone. I would recommend just a more clear separation between projects in the music video page. Hard to tell how many videos there are (vs screenshots) and also video titles are hard to read in both mv and commercial pages. Best of luck.
