A simple and free way to create a professional portfolio for job applications (for people who don't have a website)

If you're applying for jobs and only sending a resume, you're probably competing with hundreds of similar applications.

One thing that helped a few people I know stand out was having a simple portfolio website along with their resume. Recruiters can quickly see your work, projects, skills, and links in one place instead of opening multiple files.

The problem is most people don’t know how to build a website or host one.

So we built a small tool called SitesPlaced where students, freelancers, and early-career professionals can create a clean portfolio site in a few minutes. No coding required. It basically turns your information into a structured portfolio page you can share with recruiters.

Typical things people include:

  • Projects
  • Skills
  • Resume
  • Work samples
  • Contact details
  • Links (GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.)

The idea is simple: instead of sending just a PDF resume, you send a portfolio link + resume.

Recruiters can quickly scan everything.

We're still early and improving it based on feedback, so if you're currently job hunting and want to try building a portfolio quickly, feel free to check it out.

Also open to feedback on what recruiters actually like seeing in portfolios.
