Creating a portfolio in Webflow is a great way to showcase your work and impress potential clients or employers. With its user-friendly interface and powerful design tools, Webflow makes it easy to build a stunning portfolio that will leave a lasting impact. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to create your own portfolio in Webflow.
First, let’s start by creating a new project in Webflow. Once you have logged into your account, click on the “New Project” button and select the “Blank” option. Give your project a name and click on the “Create” button.
Now that we have our project set up, let’s move on to designing our portfolio. The first step is to create a layout for our portfolio homepage. To do this, we will use the Webflow Designer.
In the Designer, you’ll see different sections such as “Add,” “Pages,” and “Elements.” We will start by adding elements to our homepage.
Click on the “Add” tab and drag an element onto the canvas. For example, let’s add a heading element by selecting the “Heading” option.
Next, let’s customize our heading by changing its text and style. With the heading selected on the canvas, you can edit its text in the right sidebar under the “Typography” section. You can also change its font size, color, and other properties.
Now that we have our heading set up, let’s add some images to showcase our work. To do this, click on the “+” icon in the left sidebar and select “Image.” You can then upload your images or choose them from an online source.
Once you have added your images, arrange them on the canvas to create an aesthetically pleasing layout. You can resize them by dragging their corners or adjust their position using guidelines that appear as you move them around.
Creating a portfolio page
Now that we have our homepage set up, let’s move on to creating individual portfolio pages. These pages will contain more detailed information about each project in your portfolio.
To create a new page, click on the “Pages” tab in the Designer and select “Create New Page.” Give your page a name and click on the “Create” button.
On this new page, you can add various elements such as text blocks, images, and even videos to showcase your work. Use the same process as before to customize these elements to match your desired style.
Adding navigation
To make it easy for visitors to navigate through your portfolio, let’s add a navigation menu. In the Designer, click on the “Add” tab and select “Navbar.” Customize the navbar by adding links to each of your portfolio pages.
Once you have added the navbar, you can position it at the top or bottom of your website by dragging it to the desired location on the canvas. You can also customize its appearance by changing its color or adding additional elements such as a logo.
