FolioPage is a website builder for creative people: photographers, designers, illustrators and anyone who needs a portfolio online without writing code. You pick a template, swap in your own work and publish. Your site is hosted for you, with SSL included, at a free yourname.folio.page address or on a domain you own.

What a FolioPage site is made of

  • Pages built from sections. Every page is a stack of sections (a hero, a gallery, an about block, a contact form and so on) that you add, reorder and edit in a visual editor. You click text to change it and click an image to replace it.
  • Design that applies to the whole site. Colors, fonts, logo, header and footer styles and menus live in one Design editor, so every page stays consistent.
  • Apps you can switch on per site:
    • Portfolio - projects with images, categories and detail pages.
    • Links Page - a single page of links, like a link-in-bio page.
    • Resume - an online CV with an automatically generated PDF.
    • Blog - posts and categories (Max plan).
    • Cookie Banner - a consent notice for visitors.
  • Media - your own library of images and files, organised in folders.

Start with a template from the gallery or from a blank site, then change anything later. You are never locked into your first choice: see Reset a site to a fresh template.

Your site's address

Every site gets a free subdomain, yourname.folio.page. On the Pro and Max plans you can also connect a domain you already own, such as janedoe.com; FolioPage handles the SSL certificate for you. Read Connect a domain you own.

How it works

  2. Create your account with your email address or with Google. Your site is built during sign-up and you land in the editor.
  3. Replace the template's text and images with your own, adjust the design, and switch on the apps you need.
  4. Confirm your email address and publish. Your site is live at its subdomain within a minute.
