Most creatives I know have been "working on their portfolio" for about three years.
I was one of them. I remember setting up my first portfolio site and never finished it because I simply could not decide if it was "ready" for the public and it stayed unpublished for an embarrassing amount of time. Every time I sat down to fix it, I'd end up redesigning the layout, second-guessing the typography, picking a new font, then closing the laptop and going back to "brainstorming". I wished that I could just get someone to make it for me but as a Web Designer myself - it didn't sit right with me. Plus I wasn't making that much money.
So I built the thing I actually needed. Portloft is a portfolio builder for people who'd rather be doing their actual work. Pick a theme, drop in your projects and bio, hit publish. You're live at username.portloft.com in about 5 minutes. No hosting decisions, no domain config, no design system to invent from scratch.
What you get:
Opinionated, polished templates. Not 200 mediocre ones.
A free subdomain on portloft.com that works out of the box
Custom domain support on Pro if you want to be your-name.com
A dashboard simple enough that updating your work doesn't feel like a project
Free to start. Launch is $7/mo, Pro is $15/mo (Pro is the one with custom domains).
If you've been meaning to redo your portfolio since before the pandemic, this is your sign.
Also, constructive feedback would be genuinely welcome.
