If you're not a design bunny, a well-detailed entry on LinkedIn (which will get picked up by google) is better than some half-hacked website.

Depends what kind of work. If you use things like Linkedin it can help. It can help show Hector you're in business on your own account as well.

If you have design skills and want to show them off, definitely.
