Portfolio hosting

Give great work
a better stage

Publish a portfolio on your own domain, with room for case studies, live demos, visuals, writing, and project context. Use Framer export, Webflow export, React, or static HTML without giving up control of the experience.

Why an independent portfolio matters

📉

Your work needs context

A strong portfolio is more than a gallery. Hiring teams and clients want to see the problem, your role, the constraints, the result, and the proof.

🚫

Interactive work needs a real page

Prototype flows, motion, WebGL, before-and-after states, and embedded demos often need more room than a static marketplace profile gives you.

🏷️

The platform owns the brand layer

A custom domain and independent site make the work feel like a practice, studio, or product craft record instead of another profile inside someone else’s feed.

Use cases

Made for more than one kind of creative work

Product and interface design

Deploy exported Framer builds, product case studies, interaction walkthroughs, and polished interface storytelling with custom motion and layout.

3D and motion work

Support WebGL, Spline, Three.js, and richer browser-native visual work than a static gallery feed can carry.

Brand and editorial portfolios

Present large visuals, typography, campaign pages, and editorial case studies with more control over pacing and image quality.

Case study structure

A portfolio case study should answer the hard questions

01

What was the problem?

Give enough context for a stranger to understand the brief, audience, constraints, and business or product goal.

02

What did you actually do?

Clarify your role, team size, tools, decisions, tradeoffs, and the parts of the work you owned.

03

What changed after shipping?

Use metrics, qualitative outcomes, client quotes, launch notes, before-and-after comparisons, or lessons learned when you have them.

04

Where can people inspect it?

Link live demos, source code, prototypes, videos, screenshots, or deeper writeups so serious viewers can verify the work.

Great visual work still needs web hygiene.

Before your portfolio link goes public

Compress heavy media

Large screenshots, videos, and 3D embeds can make a portfolio feel slow. Optimize assets before uploading the final build.

Check mobile presentation

Clients and recruiters often open portfolio links on phones first. Make sure hero text, galleries, and case-study cards do not collapse awkwardly.

Use readable project URLs

Paths like /work/lumina-interface-kit are easier to share and remember than random exported filenames.

Keep confidential work safe

Redact private client data, unreleased product screenshots, internal metrics, and anything covered by NDA.

FAQ

Portfolio hosting FAQ

Can I deploy HTML exported from Framer?

Yes. Export the final static files and upload the generated folder just like any other static project.

Do I need to be a developer to use this?

No. Designers can publish exported output from visual tools, while developers can ship custom React or static builds from the same platform.

Can I use niche top-level domains such as .design or .art?

Yes. Custom domains work the same way regardless of the TLD as long as you can point the required DNS record.

Will the site still feel fast internationally?

Edge delivery helps portfolio pages stay responsive for viewers in multiple regions. Asset size still matters, so compress images and video before launch.

Can I host live demos inside my portfolio?

Yes for static demos and browser-run projects. If a demo needs a backend, database, auth, or server-side processing, connect it to a separate runtime.

Should a portfolio include every project?

Usually no. A smaller set of strong, well-explained work is more useful than a large gallery with no context.

Put the portfolio on a domain you control

Build the portfolio once, deploy it globally, and put the experience on a domain that feels like your own.
