How to make a portfolio website to show your work
A portfolio is the fastest way to show what you can do. Instead of describing your work, you send one link and let it speak for itself. Here's how to make a simple, good-looking portfolio with AI, even if you've never built a website.
Pick your best work, not all of it
Six to twelve strong pieces beat fifty average ones. Choose work that shows the kind of job you want next, and write one line about each: what it was, and what you did.
Step 1: Start from the Portfolio template
Pick the Portfolio template. It has a big title, a grid for your work, a short about section and a way for people to reach you.
Step 2: Tell the AI about you
Describe yourself in a sentence or two: "I'm a wedding and portrait photographer in Leeds. Use my name, Sam Carter, and a calm, light style." Then ask it to add your projects and the one line about each.
Step 3: Make it easy to hire you
- "Add a contact form asking for name, email and what they need." Messages sent through it arrive in your Messages once the site is published.
- "Add links to my Instagram and my email."
- "Add a short list of clients or schools I've worked with."
Step 4: Publish and share it
Publish at yourname.blackhole-ai-tech.com and put the link on your applications, your social bios and your email signature. Add new work by chatting and publish again; the link stays the same.
