Developer portfolio website

The developer portfolio website that ships with your resume.

Folio publishes a developer portfolio on your own domain that showcases your deployed projects and your GitHub work, paired with an ATS-ready engineering resume that the AI drafts in seconds. A strong software engineer portfolio links to live demos and source, reads like real case studies instead of a wall of repos, and lives at yourname.com so you own the URL and the search ranking, not a vendor subdomain.

Ship your portfolio and resume free. Own the domain.

Ship a developer portfolio and an ATS-ready resume on a domain you own, from one paste. Beta is free and card-free, the resume PDF is never paywalled, and you log in with email, Google, or a passkey.

How it works

From a repo list to a portfolio that ranks, in minutes.

No static site generator to configure, no CSS to fight, no separate resume tool to keep in sync.

  1. 01

    Paste your repos and resume.

    Drop a resume, paste a few project descriptions, or list your repos. The AI reads it and drafts a structured portfolio and a matching engineering resume in about a second.

  2. 02

    Link the work.

    Attach a deployed URL and a GitHub link to each project, then turn a README into a short case study with the stack, your role, and the outcome that mattered.

  3. 03

    Score the resume.

    Run the ATS score against the job you want. Folio checks parseability, structure, and keyword coverage, then gives you the specific fixes to get the file past the filter.

  4. 04

    Publish on your domain.

    Map yourname.com with two DNS records and Folio issues the TLS certificate for you. The portfolio goes live and the resume PDF stays free to download for every application.

What you get

Built for how engineers are actually evaluated.

A hiring manager wants to see the work running and read the code behind it. Folio is built around the deployed link, the repo, and the case study, not a generic template.

Projects

A project showcase, not a repo dump.

Each project gets a real case study: the problem, the stack, your role, and the result. It reads like work you shipped, not a scraped list of star counts, so a reviewer understands what you built and why it mattered.

Links

Live demo and source, side by side.

Attach the deployed URL and the GitHub repo to every project. A reviewer clicks straight from the case study to the running app and the code, instead of hunting through your profile for which repo you meant.

Domain

Your own domain, not a vendor subdomain.

Publish to yourname.com instead of a username path on someone else platform. You own the canonical URL, the indexable HTML, and the redirects, which is what makes a developer portfolio rank and keeps it yours if you ever migrate.

Resume

An ATS-ready engineering resume.

The same content drafts a clean, downloadable resume tuned for software roles. Folio scores it against the applicant tracking system and tells you exactly what to fix, so the file that gets you past the filter ships alongside the site.

Themes

Premium themes that read senior.

Choose from designs built for engineers, from a terminal-inspired layout to a clean editorial grid. Every theme is fast, responsive, and typographically considered, so the portfolio looks intentional without a single line of CSS.

Sync

One content model, no drift.

The portfolio and the resume share one source. Edit a project title or a bullet once and both surfaces update together, so the live site and the PDF a recruiter downloads never tell two different stories.

How it compares

Why not just GitHub Pages or Notion?

Each of these does one part. None gives an engineer a no-code, AI-drafted portfolio with an integrated resume on a domain they own.

Competitor behavior reflects each platform published free and paid tiers and can change. GitHub Pages is free to host but you build, style, and maintain the site yourself, and a custom domain means configuring DNS and certificates by hand. Verify current terms on each vendor pricing page before you decide.

Why it adds up

One account does the whole job search.

The portfolio and the resume from a single source, on a domain you own.

What good looks like

What makes a strong developer portfolio.

A strong developer portfolio is not a list of repositories. It is a small set of projects told as case studies: the problem you solved, the stack you chose and why, the part you actually owned, and the result you can point to. Reviewers skim, so lead each project with the outcome and let the deployed link and the source code carry the proof.

Link the work both ways. A live demo shows the thing runs; the GitHub repo shows how it is built and how you write code under real constraints. Pair every project with both, and turn the README you already wrote into the case study, so the portfolio is honest about scope instead of inflating a side project into a product.

Own the address. Publishing to your own domain instead of a vendor subdomain means you control the canonical URL that search engines index, you keep your ranking and links if you ever move, and the page reads as the work of an engineer who sweats the details. The portfolio is the link a hiring manager opens after your resume clears the filter, and it should look like you wrote it on purpose.

FAQ

Honest answers.

Is Folio free for a developer portfolio?

Yes. The whole thing is free during the beta, and exporting the resume PDF is never paywalled. Build the portfolio, link your projects, draft and score the resume, and publish with no card on file. If paid plans arrive later, the portfolio, slug, domain, and content you built remain yours.

Can I use my own domain instead of a subdomain?

Yes, your engineering portfolio ships on it free during beta, never on a vendor subdomain. Point your domain with two records in your registrar DNS, and Folio provisions the TLS certificate automatically on the first load. Publishing to yourname.com is what lets the portfolio rank under your own name and stay yours if you ever migrate.

Can I link my GitHub repos and deployed projects?

Yes. Every project takes a deployed URL and a GitHub link, so a reviewer clicks straight from the case study to the running app and the source. You write the case study around what you shipped, the stack, your role, and the outcome, instead of pasting a raw list of repositories.

Does Folio build my engineering resume too?

Yes. From the same content as your portfolio, Folio drafts a clean, ATS-ready resume tuned for software roles and scores it against the applicant tracking system with specific fixes. The portfolio and the resume share one source, so editing a project or a bullet once updates both.

Do I still need a downloadable resume if I have a portfolio?

Yes. The portfolio rounds out the resume rather than standing in for it. A tracking system reads an uploaded file and not a web page, so the clean PDF is what clears the first gate on most applications. The portfolio is the link a human opens next, and Folio builds both from one source so they never drift apart.

Will a portfolio on my own domain actually rank?

A custom domain gives you the foundation: a canonical URL you own, indexable server-rendered HTML, fast responsive pages, and structured data out of the box. No tool can promise a ranking, since that depends on your content and links over time, but owning the domain means the authority you build accrues to you instead of a vendor subdomain.
