description.me/yourname replaces a self-hosted site, with nothing to deploy or renew.
Project case studies
Client, role, tools and outcome for each project, structured the same way every time.
Browser video intro
Introduce your work in your own voice before a reader scrolls through the projects.
Verified references
A client or manager confirms a recommendation by email, then it shows as verified.
View & section analytics
See when your link was opened and, on Pro, which case study got the most attention.

Who it's for
Designers
Show a redesign with the brief, the process and the shipped result in one page.
Developers
Link a live repository or a deployed app next to the reasoning behind the build.

Agencies and small studios
Give each project a client, a role and an outcome a prospect can scan in seconds.
Students and career changers

How it works
01
Add your projects
Give each one a name, a client or context, and the tools you used.
02
Write the case study
Set out your role and the outcome in a few sentences, not a wall of text.
03
Link the live work
Paste a GitHub, Figma or live site URL and it becomes a preview card.
04
Publish and share
Get your address, add a QR code, and track who opens it.
Instead of
What people do today, and what changes.
Today
A personal site built on a theme nobody has touched in two years, a folder of screenshots with no context, or a PDF deck rebuilt before every pitch.
With a portfolio link
Each project gets a proper case study with client, role, tools and outcome, linked straight to the live work, and you add a new project in minutes when it ships.
Questions
Can I get an online portfolio link without building a website?
Yes. Description.me gives you a portfolio link at description.me/yourname without a site builder, hosting or a domain to manage. Add projects, write a short case study for each, and publish.
What is a project case study page and why does it matter?
A case study page sets out the client, your role, the tools used and the outcome for one project. It gives a hiring manager or client the context a screenshot alone cannot, and it is what separates a portfolio from a gallery of images.
Can I link to live work like GitHub, Figma or a deployed site?
Yes. Work-link preview cards turn a GitHub repository, Figma file, Notion doc or live site into a rich card on your portfolio link, so a reader can click straight through to the real thing.
How many projects can I add to my portfolio link?
The free plan covers one live portfolio link with as many project case studies as you want to add. Pro lets you run up to ten links, useful if you keep separate portfolios for different types of work.
Does a portfolio link show whether someone actually looked at my work?
Yes. View analytics show when your link was opened, and Pro adds section-level analytics so you can see which case study held attention the longest.
