Step 1: Sign up for Webflow
To get started, head over to the Webflow website and sign up for an account. You can choose either the free plan or one of their paid plans, depending on your needs. Once you’ve signed up, log in to your account and let’s begin!
Step 2: Create a new project

Step 3: Customize your design
Now comes the fun part – customizing your portfolio design! Webflow’s intuitive visual editor allows you to make changes easily without any coding knowledge. You can modify fonts, colors, layouts, and more to match your personal branding.
Fonts:
To change fonts, click on any text element on the page and navigate to the typography settings panel. Here, you can select from a wide range of Google Fonts or upload custom fonts if you have them.
Colors:
To modify colors, go to the color settings panel. You can either choose from pre-defined color palettes or create custom colors by entering HEX codes or using the color picker tool.
Layouts:
Want to rearrange elements on your page? No problem!
Simply click on an element and drag it to a new position. You can also adjust the spacing, margins, and padding to achieve the desired look.
Step 4: Add your portfolio content
Now that you have customized the design, it’s time to add your portfolio content. Start by creating a new page for each project or category you want to showcase. To create a new page, click on the plus icon next to “Pages” in the left sidebar.
Creating project pages
For each project page, add a title and description using heading tags (e.g.,
Project Title
). Then, insert images or videos of your work and write a brief description highlighting the key features and your role in the project.
Step 5: Create navigation
To make it easy for visitors to navigate through your portfolio, you’ll need to create a navigation menu. In Webflow, this can be done by adding links to your pages in the navbar component.
Adding links to navbar:
1. Select the navbar element on your page. 2. In the right sidebar, click on “Add Link” under “Navbar Links.”
3. Enter the text for the link and select which page it should link to. 4. Repeat this process for each page you want to include in your navigation menu.
Step 6: Publish your portfolio
Congratulations! You have now created a custom Webflow portfolio that showcases your work beautifully. Before publishing, make sure to preview your website on different devices and screen sizes to ensure it looks great everywhere.
Once you are satisfied with how everything looks, click on the “Publish” button in the top-right corner of the Webflow editor. Follow the instructions provided by Webflow to connect your domain or publish it on a Webflow subdomain.
