What’s on your portfolio website
People who look you up want to see what you make or do and how to reach you. You type what you do, a few words per line, and in a few minutes you see your site, the words written for you in the first person. Add your own photos whenever you like; we never put someone else’s work on it.
Your name set large like a portfolio’s title page, your work on a contact sheet, and a way to reach you. No sales talk.
Your work
A frame per subject on a contact sheet; your own photos go at the top, beside the part about you and in the gallery. For example:
About you
A few lines about you in your own words, in the first person.
Easy to reach
A message form, your email and, if you want, your phone number. Messages reach you by email.
Questions
Do I have to build the website myself?
No. You type your name, what you do and how to reach you, and in a few minutes you see your site, the words written for you. After that you change your work, words and photos yourself, for free.
Do I get my own domain name?
Yes. A domain name in your name is included in the yearly price: a new one or one you already own. The first year is €67.76, then €43.56 a year. You pay per year, not per month.
Can I use it as a freelancer?
Yes. The design doesn’t decide whether you’re a business: at checkout you choose whether you buy as a private person or as a business.
Will people find me on Google when they search my name?
Your site is on your own domain and Google can read it. Its code says it’s a person’s site, with your name and the contact details on it. Whether you come first also depends on who else has your name; nobody can promise a top spot.
One price a year. Domain and hosting included.
First year €67.76 incl. VAT (€56 excl. VAT), then €43.56 a year (€36 excl. VAT). You only pay once you’ve seen your website and approved it. Want to stop? Your domain name stays yours and you can download your website as a zip. The domain name: a new one (.eu, .com, .nl, .be, .fr or .at) registered in your name, or one you already own.
Why it costs less
No agency hours and no surprises. This is where the price difference comes from, and what you can check yourself.
Designs made in advance
Each design is built once, for a wedding, a club or a portfolio. You fill in your details instead of paying for a designer’s hours.
AI writes, I check
AI drafts the text from what you tell it. I check every new website myself, within one working day after it goes online.
You pay after you’ve seen it
You see your own website first and only pay once you approve it.
Nothing locked in
Your domain name is registered in your name, and you can download your whole website as a zip file at any time.
