Design portfolio
Portfolios go stale because updating them is a chore. On Sitepaste, a project page is a Markdown file: describe the brief, walk through the process, drop in images of the work. If writing a case study is as easy as writing a document, it actually happens.
A case study
---
title: Brand identity for Kinfolk Coffee
tags: [branding, identity, packaging]
---
Kinfolk Coffee wanted a brand that felt warm and handmade without
looking amateur. We started with hand-lettered wordmarks and
narrowed it down to three directions.
The final direction paired a clean sans-serif logotype with
hand-drawn illustrations on the packaging.
Upload your images at full resolution. Sitepaste converts them to WebP for fast loading without resizing them, so fine detail survives. You can also attach images directly to an API request; see media uploads.
Organizing the work
Use tags so visitors can filter by discipline, such as branding, UI, illustration, and packaging. Put case studies in a section like /work/, with your about and contact pages standing alone. Structure is a field on the page, so reorganizing later is an edit, not a rebuild.
Client work that isn’t public yet
Password-protect a case study to share it with a client or a hiring manager before it goes public, or protect the whole site while it’s in progress. See Password protection. Both are Pro features, as are custom domains, so the finished portfolio lives at your own address.
Keeping it current
The pages are static HTML, so the site is fast everywhere with no loading spinners in front of your work. And if you keep your portfolio in a Git repo or an Obsidian vault, the GitHub Action and Obsidian plugin publish it from where it already lives.
