Plan a portfolio website that shows off my projects
A page structure, project case-study format, and copy plan for a personal portfolio site that gets you interviews or clients.
The prompt
Help me plan a portfolio website that wins me interviews or clients.
My role or specialty: [e.g. "automation developer", "data analyst", "illustrator", "UX writer"]
Who I want to impress: [e.g. "hiring managers at fintech companies", "small-business clients"]
My best 3-6 projects: [for each: the problem, what I did, tools used, result or proof]
Skills and tools to highlight: [LIST]
Constraints: [e.g. "confidential client work", "no live demos", "I'll build it on a template"]
Give me:
1. A sitemap with the purpose of each page (keep it small: home, projects, about, contact, plus anything my field expects).
2. A home page hero: 3 headline options that state who I help and what I deliver, plus one line of proof.
3. A case-study template for each project: Problem | My role | Approach | Tools | Outcome (with a metric, or [ADD RESULT]) | What I'd do next | Visuals to include.
4. A draft of my strongest project written in that template, using only the facts I gave.
5. How to show confidential work safely (anonymize names, recreate data, describe process instead of output).
6. An About section draft and a simple contact section (form or email, plus links to profiles I listed).
7. A pre-launch checklist: mobile layout, load speed, broken links, contact form test, and a page title and description for each page.
Rules: keep copy specific and plain, no buzzword lists, and never invent metrics or clients.
