I started my design career in 2016 and in 2019 I started my first design agency, now my agency name is "Panze - UX Design Studio".
In this journey I noticed that most designers still ignore it like me.
I used to post every kind of design on my profile.
Dashboards. Landing pages. Logos. Mobile apps.
If I designed it, I posted it.
But here’s the problem:
When you show everything… clients assume you’re great at nothing.
So I changed one simple thing.
I picked one category, SaaS design.
And I started posting ONLY SaaS work.
Cleaner niche. Clear message. Better audience fit.
The result?
All from removing noise and doubling down on one thing.
Here’s the truth:
Clients don’t want a “design expert.”
They want their expert.
If you’re posting 7 different skills, no one knows what you’re actually good at.
Focus works.
And it works fast.

The hardest part about niching is the fear of leaving money on the table. "What if someone needs a logo and I've stopped posting logo work?" But the math never works out that way in practice.
When you're the SaaS design person, you become memorable. People think of you specifically when that need comes up. When you're the "I do everything" person, you're competing with every other generalist out there.
I went through something similar building tools for accountants. Resisted the urge to make it "for everyone" and the conversations got so much easier. You stop explaining what you do and start talking about actual problems.
I understand your point. If you want to appeal to everyone, your profile may not appear as an expert. That is the concern I raised.
You should also ask yourself: why would people choose to follow you?
Really interesting — small portfolio tweaks often pack the biggest payoff, especially when they make your value and outcomes clearer to a client instead of just showing tech details.
One approach I’ve seen work well is adding a before vs after outcome frame — for example: “this site had X problems before → this is how I solved it → measurable impact (engagement, conversions, time saved).” That tends to tell a story, not just show screenshots.
Out of curiosity — when you made that portfolio change, do you think the framing of impact (results) mattered more than the visual polish itself? That’s usually the key difference between “looks nice” and “gets attention from people who pay.”
This "broetry" style of writing kills me! ... but I admit your point is valid. Focus on that ONE skill.
So well said out Hasan, focus on delivering one skill, instead of overwhelming yourself. Loved where you said this "When you show everything… clients assume you’re great at nothing."
HIRE A FASTEST CYBER RECOVERY EXPERT TO RECOVER YOUR LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN/ETH/USDT/ THE HACKANGELS
I simply want to share my story about THE HACKANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. To all of you out there. One has to be careful. A lot of scammers are out there taking money from innocent traders. I was a victim of these crypto scammers. They made me lose my hard earned funds. The best thing that happened to me this year was seeing an article about THE HACKANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. A professional hacker and private investigator. I invested $954,300 in a cryptocurrency platform and it turned out to be a scam and I had no idea how to get my money back until I reached out to a recovery company called THE HACKANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. I explained my situation to them. I was shocked to hear that they had recovered all of my stolen cryptocurrency in just 48 hours. I said that I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. To anyone who may find themselves in a similar unfortunate situation. I highly recommend THE HACKANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. Quickly reach out to them on their hotline:

I love it! You're know the expert that we can recommend in specific area. You reduced the thinking for the consumer and built your brand expertise and positioning. Thanks for sharing. We've all been great at so many things, but it sounds like you found your superpower.
Small portfolio tweaks don’t boost impressions — better positioning does.
When your value is obvious at a glance, algorithms and humans both reward it. 🚀
Love this perspective. In my experience, small tweaks often have outsized impact because they shift how people feel when they encounter your work. A portfolio tweak that speaks to the emotions behind the numbers can create connection and spark curiosity. It's not always the big overhauls that move the needle, but understanding why viewers engage and meeting them there. Has anyone else found that subtle positioning changes lead to surprising growth?
Love this insight! Focusing on a specific niche really makes your work stand out. We applied a similar approach at QVista, highlighting workflow automation use cases instead of everything, and it’s made engagement much clearer and stronger.
Glad to know that man 🙌
This advice is truly invaluable for those just entering the workforce—you need to build your absolute technical strengths.
Yup ❤️
Great share & portfolio! Niche always win over having done lots of different things.
Exactly ❤️
Great sharing, how did you decide to only do SaaS design instead of other designs? What are the reasons for considering it?
I enjoy solving problems with design, so working in SaaS suits me perfectly.
@Mahmudul Hasan
This is a great example of how niche clarity multiplies visibility. What’s interesting is that the same effect happens on Reddit, niche-specific communities reward exactly this kind of focus. A lot of SaaS designers don’t realize that their ideal clients hang out in very specific subreddits, and a well-positioned portfolio post there can outperform Dribbble impressions by a huge margin.
If you ever want insights on which subreddits map directly to your SaaS audience and how to share your work there without getting flagged, happy to point you in the right direction.
Please share 🙌
Sure!It’ll be easier to share the subreddits and breakdown on Telegram.
You can message me here: @Preshtechsolution
I don't have any telegram account by the way.
Okay, we can make use of gmail instead
"Good insights. Curious how long it took to reach this level."
Great question! From my experience, focusing on one niche and iterating consistently over a couple of years can yield significant traction. It often feels slow at first, but the compounded effect of doing one thing really well adds up.
Sharing design last 9 years 🙌
This is so true. The moment you niche down, your audience finally understands who you’re for and the right clients start paying attention. Powerful reminder 👏
Glad you loved it man. You are inspiring me all the time 🙌
Niching to SaaS made your value obvious, and the results prove it. Did you also refine case study titles or thumbnails?
Thank you, no I didn't focus on thumbnail and title yet. I will focus on this for sure 🙌
That's a great result! Maybe you could try an AI marketing software called Amplift, which can help products reach the market more effectively.
Are you spaming everywhere?
