Describe your work

What you design, who you design for and how clients should reach you. Cactal writes the pages, sets up your contact form and publishes the site.

How it works

  1. 1 Pick a design

    Browse by discipline and open any design to see it full size.

  2. 2 Add your work

    Your projects, services, background and how clients should reach you. Cactal writes every page and builds the site from your design.

  3. 3 Publish

    Ask for changes in plain words until it's right, then publish free on a Cactal domain, or on your own domain with Pro.

What a graphic design portfolio website needs

Your specialty in the first line

Say whether you design brands, websites, packaging or illustration, and for whom. A founder looking for a logo should know in seconds that you're the right kind of designer.

A few projects, told as case studies

For each one, the brief, your role, the thinking and the finished work. A handful of explained projects says more than a long wall of thumbnails.

Work shown in use

Show identities on packaging, signs and screens, not only flat on a white page. Mockups help, and photos of the real thing out in the world are stronger still.

Credit where it's due

Say what you did on team and agency projects, and check your client agreements before you show unreleased work. When you can't show it, describe the problem and your approach.

How you work and what it costs

Walk through your process from first call to final files, and list what each service includes. A starting price, if you're comfortable sharing one, saves both sides a call.

An easy way to start a project

A short form on every page that asks about the project, timing and budget, plus a line on what you're open to: freelance work, commissions or a full-time role.

Questions

Are these graphic design portfolio templates free?

Every design here is free to start from. You can sign up, build and publish on a Cactal domain without a card and with no time limit. Putting your site on a domain you own is $25 a month on Pro, or $240 a year.

Do I need to know how to code or design?

No. Describe your work in plain words and Cactal builds, edits and publishes the site. When you want a change, ask for it the same way.

How much does a graphic design portfolio website cost?

A custom build from a web developer often runs into the thousands of dollars and takes weeks. A builder template costs less, but you still write and fill in every page. With Cactal it's free to build and publish on a Cactal address, and your own domain is $25 a month on Pro, or $240 a year, with no setup fee.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Every site starts on a free Cactal address. Connect a domain you own on Pro for $25 a month, or $240 a year, and each additional website on its own domain is $20 a month.

Who owns the website?

You do. Every Cactal site is real React source code, so you can take it and run it anywhere. There is no export to buy.

Are these real designers?

No. Each design is an illustration made by Cactal, and the names, people, clients, projects and images in it are fictional. Your site is built around your own work.

Can I add new projects later?

Yes. Ask Cactal to add a case study, swap your featured work or reorder your projects whenever you finish something new. Pages and posts also live in the built-in CMS, so you can edit them yourself.

Can I change the fonts and colors to match my own brand?

Yes. Fonts, colors, spacing and layout are one request away, so your portfolio can carry your own identity. Every site is also real React source code, if you'd rather refine it by hand.
