Getting started

Is Portfoliobox free for designers? +
Yes. The free plan includes a fully functional design portfolio with 5 pages, 30 images, gallery layouts, SEO tools, and customer support. No credit card, no time limit. Start building your design portfolio right away.
Do I need coding skills to create a design portfolio? +
No. Portfoliobox is a visual drag-and-drop editor. You arrange elements in your browser — no code, no downloads, no developer needed. If you can use Figma, you can build your portfolio here.
How should I organize my design portfolio? +
Organize by project type or discipline. Dedicate separate pages to branding, UI/UX, illustration, or print work. Lead with your strongest case studies and keep each project focused on the problem, process, and result.

Plans and pricing

What plans are available for designers? +
Three plans. Free ({{freePrice}}), Personal ({{startingPrice}}/mo), and Professional ({{professionalYearly}}/mo). Annual billing saves up to 20%. The free plan is a real portfolio, not a limited trial.
Which plan do I need to sell digital products or manage client work? +
The Professional plan includes the full online store with up to 1,000 products, invoicing, proposals, bookings, and 0% commission on every sale.
How does the 0% commission work? +
Portfoliobox never takes a percentage of your revenue. When you sell a UI kit, template, or font file, you keep 100% of the profit. The only fees are standard transaction charges from your payment provider, such as Stripe or PayPal.

Domains and email

Do I need a custom domain for my design portfolio? +
You can launch with a free portfoliobox.com subdomain, but a custom domain like yourname.com or yourname.design is strongly recommended. It reinforces your professional identity and helps you stand out to clients and recruiters.
Can I get a professional email address? +
Yes. Paid plans include email hosting at your custom domain. hello@yourname.com instead of a generic email provider. 5GB inbox, 10 aliases, and up to 500 sends per day.

Website building

What gallery layouts work best for design portfolios? +
Over 40 layouts across five categories: thumbnail grids, vertical scrolls, horizontal layouts, slideshows, and creative options like masonry and parallax. Choose the layout that best fits each project type — grids for branding systems, slideshows for process walkthroughs.
Can I create password-protected pages for client reviews? +
Yes, on the Professional plan. Set up private pages where clients can review work-in-progress, leave feedback, and approve deliverables before you go public.
How many images can I upload? +
The free plan includes 30 images. Personal gives you 150 images, and Professional allows up to 1,000 images. All plans support high-resolution uploads so your case studies look crisp.
Can I use different layouts for different project types? +
Yes. Each page can have its own gallery layout. Present brand identity work in a grid, motion design in a slideshow, and UX case studies in a vertical scroll. You have full control over every page.

E-commerce

Can I sell digital assets from my design portfolio? +
Yes. Add a store and sell UI kits, icon packs, font files, templates, or any other digital product. Set your own prices, manage inventory, and accept payments through Stripe or PayPal.
How do digital downloads work? +
Yes. Sell any digital file — templates, assets, or resources. After purchase, buyers receive a secure, automated download link instantly. No manual delivery needed.
Can I sell bundles or product variants? +
Yes. Create products with multiple variants — for example, a UI kit with different license tiers. List what each tier includes and let buyers choose directly from your store.

Bookings and business tools

Can clients book consultations through my site? +
Yes. The Professional plan includes online bookings with availability management, time slots, and service types. Clients select a session, pick a time, and pay a deposit or full amount when they book.
Can I send proposals and invoices to clients? +
Yes. Draft proposals for new projects and send them via a shareable link. Once the client approves, convert the proposal into an invoice. Track payment status from draft to paid, and export as PDF.
Can I share project files with clients? +
Yes. Share files up to 1GB each with time-limited download links. Set expiry from 1 hour to 30 days. Ideal for delivering final assets, presentations, or brand guideline documents.

SEO

Will my design portfolio appear on Google? +
Yes. Every page has fields for meta titles, descriptions, and keywords. Portfoliobox generates a sitemap automatically and uses clean, readable URLs. Add alt text to your project images to help search engines find and index your work.
Can I connect Google Analytics? +
Yes. Connect GA4 to track who visits your portfolio and how they interact with it. You can also add Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel for advertising campaigns.

Support and languages

How do I get help? +
Portfoliobox offers customer support on all plans, including the free plan. Real people answering real questions. Documentation and tutorials are also available to guide you through every step.
Can I build my portfolio in my own language? +
Yes. Portfoliobox supports 23 languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, and more. You can translate navigation, buttons, and form fields to match your audience.

Technical

Does Portfoliobox include hosting? +
Yes. Fast, reliable web hosting and an SSL certificate are included on all plans. You do not need a separate hosting provider.
Can I use custom fonts on my design portfolio? +
Yes. Portfoliobox supports custom font uploads so you can use the exact typefaces that match your brand. Google Fonts are also available on all plans.
Can I embed video content? +
Yes. Embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or other platforms. Showcase motion design reels, process timelapses, or project walkthrough videos alongside your static work.
