Pick a template
by style.
The right portfolio template depends less on your job than on how your work should be seen: quiet and typographic, loud and confident, project-led, image-led, or a structured scholarly record. These six guides each cover one design style in depth, with a real mapping to Portfolio's 60 designs and 48 resume layouts, concrete do's and don'ts, and an honest note on who the style is not for. Every one can be drafted from a resume with Portfolio in about a minute, then published to your own domain.
Choose your look.
Grouped by how much the design should assert itself, from the quietest to the most structured. Each guide is written for the style, not from a template, and maps to the designs that actually fit it.
Restraint and focus
Presence and craft
Technical and scholarly
Choosing a style.
How to pick between the six, and how style and profession fit together.
How do I choose which template style fits me?
Start from how your work should be seen, not your job title. If you are judged on writing and results, go minimalist. If you need to be remembered, go bold. If your evidence is shipped projects, go developer; if it is images, photography; if it is a publication record, academic. One page is a shape any of the others can take when your story is short. Read the guide for the style that matches your material and the mapping to Portfolio's designs is spelled out there.
Are these different from the profession guides?
Yes, and they pair. A style guide is about the look: which of the 60 designs fit, the do's and don'ts of restraint or presence, and how the resume maps into it. A profession guide is about the content: what to include for a nurse, a developer, or a marketer, and the terms a recruiter searches. Pick a style here, then check the profession guide for what belongs in the sections.
Can I switch styles after I have built the site?
Yes. In Portfolio, content and design are separate, so you can move between any of the 60 designs without losing your writing, projects, or resume. That means you can try a minimalist design and a bold one on the same content before you commit, and change your mind later without rebuilding anything.
Do these templates come from my resume?
Every style starts from the same paste. Drop your resume into Portfolio and it drafts the sections from your real history, then you choose the design that suits the style, order the content, and publish. Because the draft is built from your content, none of the designs land with placeholder text; they land with what your resume actually says.
Should I check my resume before building any of these?
Yes. Most hiring still starts with a resume screened by software, so run yours through the free ATS score checker against a real posting first, fix what it flags, then build the site from the corrected resume. The same paste that builds the site also produces a matched, ATS-safe resume across 48 layouts.
