Let’s talk about something we all know we should probably have by now: a portfolio.


If you work in social media or marketing, chances are you’ve done some seriously impressive stuff. You’ve launched campaigns, grown brands, and made Reels go viral while keeping your clients looking flawless online. But if someone asked, “Where can I see your work?” would you have a link ready?


That’s where a one-page portfolio comes in. It’s simple, cute, and effective. The best part? You can totally build it yourself and update it straight from your phone thanks to the magic of Wix CMS.


Why Do I Need a Portfolio When I Have Instagram?


Great question! Here’s the thing: your Instagram shows your vibe, but your portfolio shows your skills. It tells potential clients or employers several important things:


  • What kinds of projects you’ve worked on

  • What results you’ve helped deliver

  • What your style and strengths are

  • Why they should trust you with their brand


A one-page portfolio presents this information clearly. This format allows people to quickly grasp who you are without digging through DMs or highlights.


Wix CMS: My Go-To for Portfolios


I’ve tried various platforms over the years, but I always return to Wix, especially for personal portfolios. Here’s why it stands out:


Wix has a built-in CMS (Content Management System) that makes updating your site super easy. Once you’ve got your layout set, you don’t need to touch the design again. You can just update the content right from your dashboard. Better yet, you can do all of this from your phone.


This is a game changer! During your busy day, you can:


  • Add a new project while waiting for coffee

  • Update a testimonial from a happy client on the fly

  • Swap out brand logos or tweak text—all without needing a laptop.


It's perfect for social media managers who often work from their phones anyway.

What to Include on Your One-Page Portfolio


Don’t overthink it! You just want a clean, scrollable space that showcases what you do. Here’s a quick checklist of essential elements:


  1. A Quick Intro: Who you are and what you specialize in

  2. Project Highlights: A few highlights (even 2-3 is enough)

  3. Proof: Stats, client names, screenshots, or testimonials

  4. Call-to-Action: A contact form, email button, or booking link


That’s it! Think of it like your personal “link in bio,” but significantly enhanced.
