A step-by-step guide to launching your portfolio in under an hour
Welcome to your new portfolio site! This guide will walk you through setting up your free Wix Studio template. We're going to work smart here: content first, design second, polish last. This approach means you'll have a functional portfolio quickly, and you can always come back to make it prettier later.
📋 What You'll Need Before Starting
Your Wix account login details
3-5 portfolio projects (even student work or unpaid projects count!)
Any testimonials or feedback you've received
Your qualifications (courses, certifications, degrees)
Logos of companies/software you've worked with
A professional photo of yourself (optional but recommended)
About 1-2 hours of uninterrupted time
Pro tip: Don't wait until everything is perfect. Get your content in first, even if it's rough. You can always refine it later.
Phase 1: Fill Your CMS Collections (Do This First!)
Why start here? The CMS (Content Management System) is the backbone of your portfolio. Think of it like a spreadsheet that powers your entire site. Once you fill it in, your pages automatically populate with your content. Magic! ✨
What is the CMS?
The CMS in Wix Studio stores all your content in "collections" (like databases). Each collection has "items" (like rows in a spreadsheet). When you update the CMS, your website updates automatically—no need to manually edit every page.
Your template has 5 main collections:
Portfolio Projects - Your work samples
Services - What you offer clients
Qualifications - Your education and certifications
Testimonials - Client feedback
Logos - Companies or tools you've worked with
How to Access Your CMS
In Wix Studio, you can access the CMS in two ways:
Option 1: From the Editor
Open your site in the Wix Studio Editor
Look for the CMS icon in the left sidebar (it looks like a database/grid)
Click to see all your collections
Option 2: From the Dashboard (Best for quick updates!)
This is great for updating content on-the-go from your phone
Download the Wix Owner app to update your portfolio from anywhere
Navigate to the CMS section to add or edit items
Pro tip: Once your site is set up, use the Dashboard/Owner app for quick content updates. You won't need to open the full editor just to add a new project!
Step 1: Add Your Portfolio Projects
This is the most important collection—it's what people are here to see! Your template uses a dynamic page system, which means you create ONE page design, and every project automatically gets its own page using that layout.
Find the Portfolio Projects collection in your CMS and start adding items.
Required Fields:
Project Name: Give it a clear, professional title
✅ Good: "Social Media Campaign for Grapes & Plates"
✅ Good: "Instagram Rebrand Campaign"
❌ Avoid: "That wine thing I did"
Role/Position: What was your role in this project?
Examples: "Social Media Manager," "Digital Marketing Intern," "Marketing Coordinator," "Content Strategist"
If it's a practice project: "Practice Project" or "Portfolio Project"
If it's a student project: "University Project"
Project Description: This is where you tell the story. Write 4-6 sentences covering:
What & Who: Start by explaining what the project was and who it was for
Example: "I worked with a local skincare brand to launch a holiday campaign on Instagram"
Your Role: What exactly did you do?
Did you create content, design graphics, write copy, manage a schedule, analyze performance, or collaborate with a team?
Be specific about platforms or tools you used (Canva, Meta Ads Manager, Hootsuite, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, TikTok, etc.)
The Goal: What was the brand or client trying to achieve?
Your Approach: Mention any creative ideas, strategies, or problem-solving you applied
Results: If you have them (increased engagement, new followers, better conversion rates, etc.), include them!
Reflection: End by reflecting on what you learned or are proud of
Imagine you're explaining it to someone who might want to hire you. Keep it confident, clear, and easy to read.
Image Fields:
Primary Image (Required):
This is the main image that represents the project
Choose something that gives a clear visual overview of what the project was about
Examples: screenshot of the final Instagram post or campaign grid, the email header you designed, or a well-composed photo of a product you promoted
Should be eye-catching, polished, and ideally horizontal (landscape) format
Minimum 1200px wide for best quality
Secondary Image (Optional but Recommended):
Show another key piece of the project
Could be behind-the-scenes (like you working in Canva or a content calendar screenshot)
Analytics results, a moodboard you used, or another part of the campaign like a story or email layout
Gallery Images (Optional but Encouraged):
Add 3–5 images that give a fuller picture of your process and results
Think of it like a mini case study
Include: drafts, before-and-after comparisons, campaign results, extra social media content, audience feedback, or slides you made for a presentation
Variety is good—show both visuals and your thinking process where possible
Optional But Useful Fields:
Project Date: When you completed it
Client/Company Name: Who you did this for
Project Type/Category: E.g., "Social Media Marketing," "Email Campaign," "Content Strategy"
Tools Used: Canva, Adobe Suite, HubSpot, etc.
Link to Live Work: If your project is online, link to it
How many projects should I add?
Minimum: 3 projects to get started
Ideal: 5-8 projects to show range
Maximum: Quality over quantity—don't add filler projects
What if I don't have real client work?
Use the real briefs from Hot Girl Portfolio School
Include university/course projects
Create spec work based on the Copywriting Brief Generator
Just be honest about the context in your description
Save each project as you complete it, then add another!
Step 2: Add Your Services
Tell people what you can actually do for them. These will appear on your homepage and Services section.
Find the Services collection in your CMS.
For each service, fill in:
Service Name:
Examples: "Website Development," "Social Media Management," "SEO Optimization," "Graphic Design," "Content Writing"
Keep it clear and searchable—use terms clients actually search for
Service Description:
Write 1-2 sentences about what this service includes
Example: "Professional website creation and design tailored to your brand"
Example: "Managing and growing social media accounts with strategic content planning"
Price (Optional):
You can add "Starting at £X" or a specific price
Or leave blank if you prefer to discuss pricing
The template shows example prices (£300-£2000) but adjust to your actual rates
Icon/Image (Optional):
If your template has an image field for services, add a relevant icon or photo
Keep it simple and professional
How many services?
Start with 3-5 core offerings
Don't list everything—focus on what you want to be hired for
You can always add more later
Step 3: Add Your Qualifications
Build credibility by showing your education and training. These appear in the "My Qualifications" section.
Find the Qualifications collection in your CMS.
For each qualification, fill in:
Qualification Name:
Examples: "Social Media Strategy," "Content Marketing Essentials," "Email Marketing Certification," "SEO & SEM Basics"
Or: "BA Marketing," "HubSpot Social Media Certification"
Institution/Provider:
Where you got this qualification
Examples: "HubSpot Academy," "Google Skillshop," "University of [Name]," "Semrush Academy"
Date Completed:
Month and year, or just year
Or "In Progress" if you're currently working on it
Grade (Optional):
If relevant: "A," "B+," "Pass," "With Distinction"
Not all qualifications have grades—that's fine!
Description (Optional):
Only add if it needs context
Example: "Core principles of creating, distributing, and optimizing branded content for engagement"
Keep it to one sentence if you use it
What to Include:
University degrees
Professional certifications
Online courses (especially from the free list in Hot Girl Portfolio School!)
Relevant workshops or training
Even short courses count—they show you're learning!
Pro tip: Use the free courses list from Hot Girl Portfolio School to bulk up this section quickly. Many take less than an hour and give you a certificate!
Step 4: Add Testimonials
Social proof is powerful. Even one testimonial is better than none.
Find the Testimonials collection in your CMS.
For each testimonial, fill in:
Client Name:
First and last name (or first name + initial if they prefer)
Example: "Alice Johnson"
Client Title/Company (Optional but Recommended):
Adds credibility
Example: "Marketing Manager at ABC Co" or "Small Business Owner"
Testimonial Text:
Their actual words (2-5 sentences is perfect)
Example: "The team delivered our project ahead of schedule and exceeded our expectations."
Keep it authentic—real quotes are always better than formal language
Client Photo (Optional):
Adds authenticity but not essential
Ask permission before using someone's photo
Date (Optional):
When they gave this feedback
Where to get testimonials:
Ask past clients (even unpaid work)
Ask classmates or professors about group projects
Ask colleagues about your collaboration skills
LinkedIn recommendations (copy the relevant bits)
Email feedback from clients—ask if you can use it publicly
Don't have any yet? That's okay! You can:
Skip this section for now
Add one as soon as you complete your first project
Offer your first 1-2 projects in exchange for testimonials
The template will still look good without this section
Step 5: Add Client/Tool Logos
Show off who you've worked with or what tools you know. These appear in a logo grid on your homepage.
Find the Logos collection in your CMS.
For each logo, fill in:
Logo Image:
Upload the company or tool logo
Get logos from the company website or search "[Company Name] logo PNG"
Make sure the background is transparent (PNG file)
Ensure logos are high quality but not massive file sizes
All logos should be roughly the same visual weight
Company/Tool Name:
What this logo represents
Helps with accessibility and SEO
Link (Optional):
Link to their website or your profile on that tool
Not essential but can be nice
What logos should I include?
Two main categories:
Companies/Brands You've Worked With:
Companies where you've been employed
Brands you've freelanced for
Organizations you've volunteered with
Brands you've created work for (even spec/practice work)
Tools You're Proficient In:
Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma
Hootsuite, Buffer, Later, Sprout Social
Google Analytics, Google Ads
HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce
TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn (if you're a platform specialist)
Pro tip: If you're just starting out, focus on tool logos. It shows your technical skills and fills the space professionally. Aim for 6-12 logos total.
✅ CMS Phase Complete!
Before moving on, do a quick check:
I have at least 3 portfolio projects added with descriptions and images
I have at least 3 services listed
I have at least 3 qualifications entered
I have testimonials added (or I'm okay skipping this for now)
I have at least 6 logos uploaded
Save everything and take a 5-minute break. You've just done the hardest part! 🎉
Phase 2: Customize Your Design
Now that your content is in, let's make it look like you.
Understanding Your Template Structure
Your template has these main pages:
Home - Your landing page with hero section, about snippet, services, recent projects, and logos
About Me - Full story about you, your qualifications, and what makes you valuable
Projects - Grid view of all your portfolio projects (pulls from CMS automatically)
Projects (Item) - The dynamic project detail page (one design for all projects)
Contact Me - Contact form and your details
Step 1: Update Your Homepage Content
Find your Homepage in the editor and click on text elements to edit them directly.
Hero Section (Top of the page):
"Hi, I'm NAME!" - Replace with your actual name
"I solve this problem for these people..." - Replace with what you actually do
Example: "Social Media Marketer helping brands tell their story"
Example: "I create scroll-stopping content for sustainable fashion brands"
Make it specific and benefit-focused
Profile Photo - Click the image placeholder and upload your photo
Professional but friendly
Good lighting, clear face
Square format works best (500px x 500px minimum)
About Section: The template has placeholder text: "Who I am, Where I Came From, and Where I'm Headed..."
Replace this with 2-4 paragraphs about yourself:
Your background (relevant experience, education)
What drives you/why you do this work
What makes you different or valuable
Who you want to work with
Keep it conversational and authentic. You're not writing a CV—you're introducing yourself to a potential client or employer.
Services Section: This pulls automatically from your Services CMS collection—you already filled this in! If the pricing or descriptions need adjusting, go back to the CMS.
Recent Projects Section: This also pulls automatically from your Portfolio Projects CMS collection. The most recent projects will show here.
"Get in touch!" CTA Section: Replace the placeholder text with something compelling:
Why should someone contact you?
What will happen after they contact you?
Example: "Ready to elevate your brand's social media presence? Let's chat about how I can help you connect with your audience and drive real results."
Step 2: Update Your About Me Page
Navigate to the About Me page in your editor.
Main Heading:
Replace "YOUR NAME" with your actual name
Replace the subheading with your unique selling point
Example: "Helping Small Businesses Grow Through Strategic Content"
Example: "Data-Driven Marketer with a Creative Edge"
About Me Text: The template has a long placeholder section. Replace it with your full story:
Who you are
What makes you tick
How you help people
Why you love what you do
Your background and why people should trust you
Something you specialize in
Who you want to work with and what problems you solve
This should be longer and more detailed than your homepage about section. 3-6 paragraphs is perfect.
Qualifications Section: This pulls from your Qualifications CMS collection—already done!
Step 3: Check Your Projects Pages
Projects List Page: This page shows a grid of all your projects. It pulls automatically from your CMS, so you don't need to do anything here unless you want to change the layout or styling.
Projects (Item) Dynamic Page: This is the clever bit! One page design displays ALL your individual projects.
In Wix Studio, you'll see this page marked with a special icon (often purple/dynamic indicator). When you click on it, you can preview how different projects look using the preview dropdown at the top.
What to check:
Does the layout work with your images?
Is the description text readable and well-formatted?
Do the gallery images display nicely?
Does the "Previous Item" and "Next Item" navigation work?
Any design changes you make here will apply to ALL your project pages automatically. That's the magic of dynamic pages!
Step 4: Update Your Contact Page
Contact Form: The template includes a basic contact form with fields for:
First name
Last name
Email
Message
This should work automatically, but make sure to test it after publishing!
Your Contact Details: Replace the placeholder information:
Email: Change "info@mysite.com" to your actual email
Phone: Add your phone number or remove if you prefer not to include it
Address: Add your location or remove if not relevant
If you're remote/online only, you might say "Remote - Available Worldwide" or just remove this
Social Media Links: The template includes social media icon links in the footer. Update these to link to your actual profiles (LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.) or remove the ones you don't use.
Step 5: Customize Colors and Fonts
Make it match your personal brand.
To change colors: Look for the design panel or theme settings in Wix Studio. You can customize:
Primary colors (used for headings, buttons, highlights)
Background colors
Text colors
Tips:
Pick 2-3 main colors that represent you
Ensure good contrast for readability (dark text on light backgrounds or vice versa)
Stick to colors you'd be happy to be known for
When in doubt, keep it simple—black, white, and one accent color works great
To change fonts: Find the font/typography settings in your design panel.
Best practice:
Choose 1-2 fonts maximum
One for headings (can be more distinctive)
One for body text (must be highly readable)
Avoid overly decorative fonts—they're hard to read on screens
Pro tip: When in doubt, keep it simple. Clean and professional beats overly designed every single day.
Step 6: Add Your Personal Touch
This is where you make it uniquely yours:
Replace any remaining placeholder images with your own photos
Update section headings to match your voice (formal vs. casual)
Add or remove sections based on what you offer
Update button text to be more "you" ("Let's Chat" vs. "Contact Me" vs. "Get Started")
Adjust spacing and layout if something feels too cramped or too sparse
Important: The template structure works. Don't feel like you need to redesign everything. Small personal touches make a bigger impact than a complete overhaul.
✅ Design Phase Complete!
Quick check:
My homepage has my name, photo, and bio
All placeholder text is replaced with my actual content
My colors and fonts reflect my personal brand
My projects display correctly on the dynamic page
My contact details are accurate
Everything is readable and looks professional
Phase 3: Final Polish & Launch Prep
Almost there! Now let's handle the technical bits.
Step 1: Check Responsiveness (Mobile, Tablet, Desktop)
Your site needs to look good on all devices. Most people will view your portfolio on their phones!
Look for the responsive preview option in Wix Studio (usually icons showing desktop, tablet, and mobile views).
Check each view and look for:
Text that's too small on mobile
Images that overlap or get cut off
Buttons that are hard to tap on mobile
Sections that look weird on certain screen sizes
Wix Studio has responsive design features that should handle most of this automatically, but it's worth checking and making small adjustments.
Common fixes:
Adjust font sizes for mobile if text is too small
Resize or reposition images that don't fit well
Ensure buttons are big enough to tap on touchscreens
Check that your navigation menu works on mobile
Step 2: Test All Links and Buttons
Nothing kills credibility like a broken link.
Test these:
All navigation menu links go to the right pages
"Learn More" and "Explore" buttons work correctly
"Contact Me" buttons take you to the contact form or section
Social media links in the footer open your actual profiles
Any external links in your project descriptions work
The contact form submits correctly (do a test submission!)
"Previous Item" and "Next Item" navigation on project pages works
Step 3: Set Up Your Pages Properly
Make sure all your main pages are complete and connected:
Required Pages:
Home - Complete with your content
About Me - Your full story
Projects - Auto-populated from CMS
Projects (Item) - Dynamic page set up correctly
Contact - Form working, details correct
Optional but Recommended:
Services page (if not included on homepage)
Blog page (if you plan to write content)
Step 4: Configure Basic SEO
Help people find you on Google.
For each main page, you'll need to set up SEO settings:
Find the SEO settings for each page (usually in page settings or properties).
Page Title: (50-60 characters)
Home: "[Your Name] | Social Media Marketing Portfolio"
About: "About [Your Name] | Marketing Professional"
Projects: "[Your Name]'s Marketing Projects & Case Studies"
Contact: "Contact [Your Name] | Let's Work Together"
Meta Description: (150-160 characters)
Write 1-2 sentences about what visitors will find on this page
Include relevant keywords naturally
Make it compelling—this shows up in Google search results!
Home example: "Marketing portfolio showcasing social media campaigns, content strategy, and digital marketing projects for UK brands."
Page URL:
Keep URLs clean and simple
About: yourname.com/about-me
Projects: yourname.com/projects
Contact: yourname.com/contact
For your dynamic project pages: The URL structure should be set up automatically (usually something like yourname.com/projects/project-name). Make sure your project names are URL-friendly (no special characters or excessive length).
Step 5: Optimize Images
Big images slow down your site. Let's fix that.
Before uploading images:
Resize them appropriately:
Portfolio images: 1200-1600px wide maximum
Profile photos: 500px square is plenty
Logo images: 200-300px wide
Compress them using:
TinyPNG (tinypng.com) - free and easy
Or search "compress image online"
Add alt text to all images: This helps with SEO and accessibility. Alt text describes what's in the image.
Find the image settings in Wix Studio and add alt text for each image:
Profile photo: "Your Name headshot" or "Professional photo of Your Name"
Project images: Describe what's shown—"Social media graphics for Grapes & Plates wine campaign"
Logos: "Company Name logo"
Keep it descriptive but concise.
Step 6: Run the Wix Site Checklist
Wix Studio has built-in tools to help you optimize your site.
Look for site quality or SEO tools in your dashboard. These might include:
SEO Setup:
Answer questions about your business/site
Add business information
Set up keywords (3-5 terms that describe what you do)
Example: "social media marketing," "content creator," "digital marketing freelancer," "Instagram specialist"
Connect Analytics:
Google Search Console (requires premium plan)
Google Analytics for tracking visitors
Note: Some features require a paid plan. Do what you can on the free plan, then upgrade when you're ready for more advanced features.
Step 7: Set Up Google Analytics (Optional)
Track who visits your site so you can improve it over time.
Why bother? You'll see:
How many people visit your portfolio
Which projects get the most views
Where visitors are coming from
Which pages they spend time on
This data is gold for understanding what works and what doesn't.
To set up:
Create a free Google Analytics account (analytics.google.com)
Find the tracking settings in your Wix Dashboard
Connect your Google Analytics account or paste your tracking ID
Save and publish
✅ Pre-Launch Checklist

Phase 4: Publish Your Site! 🚀

Ongoing Maintenance
Your portfolio isn't "set it and forget it." Update it regularly to keep it fresh and relevant!
Monthly:
Add any new projects you complete
Update your bio if your focus or experience shifts
Check all links still work
Review analytics (if you have them) to see what's working
Quarterly (Every 3 Months):
Refresh your best work—remove weaker projects if you have better ones
Add new testimonials as you collect them
Update your services if they've changed
Review your SEO and make improvements based on what you've learned
Annually (Once a Year):
Give your design a refresh (colors, images, layout tweaks if needed)
Review your entire portfolio with fresh eyes—does it still represent you?
Update your "About" section with new experiences
Check that all software/tool logos are still relevant
Consider what's missing and what could be improved
Remember: Your CMS makes updates super easy. You can add a new project from your phone in under 10 minutes!
Troubleshooting Common Issues
"My projects aren't showing up on my Projects page"
Possible fixes:
Check that your Portfolio Projects collection has items in it
Make sure your Projects page is connected to the correct CMS collection
Verify that your projects are published/not set to draft
Check that the page elements are properly connected to the dataset
"I can't edit text on my project detail pages"
This is normal! Dynamic page content comes from the CMS, not the page itself.
To change project text:
Go to CMS > Portfolio Projects collection
Click on the specific project you want to edit
Edit the content in the CMS item
Save and refresh the page
The page design itself controls the layout, but the CMS controls the actual words and images.
"My site looks broken on mobile"
Try these fixes:
Use the mobile preview mode to check your site
Wix Studio should handle mobile responsiveness automatically
Look for any elements that are overlapping or off-screen
Check if text is too small—you can adjust font sizes for mobile specifically
Some designs might need manual adjustment for different screen sizes
"How do I add more fields to my CMS collections?"
To add custom fields:
Go to your CMS
Select the collection you want to modify
Look for collection settings or manage fields option
Add a new field and choose the type (text, image, date, URL, etc.)
Name it and save
Now that field will appear when you add/edit items
"I accidentally deleted something important"
Don't panic:
Look for a version history or restore option in Wix Studio
You may be able to restore a previous version of your site
Contact Wix support if you can't find it—they can often help recover content
This is why it's good to save frequently and make backups!
"My contact form isn't working"
Check these:
Is the form properly set up in your site settings?
Is the email address correct for where form submissions should go?
Test it yourself by submitting a test message
Check your spam folder—sometimes form notifications end up there
Verify you have the right permissions set for the form

Final Tips
Update your CMS from your phone: Download the Wix Owner app and you can add new projects while you're on the go. Just finished a campaign? Add it to your portfolio right away while it's fresh!
Start with 3, aim for 5: You need at least 3 solid projects to launch. Aim to build up to 5-8 over time as you complete more work.
Quality over quantity always: One amazing project with great visuals and clear results is worth ten mediocre ones.
Your portfolio is a conversation starter: It doesn't need to show everything you've ever done—just enough to get someone interested in talking to you.
Be proud of where you are: Whether this is your first portfolio or a refresh, you're taking your career seriously and that matters
