This is for the makers.
We all love to share those final shots of completed works, but what really captivates your audience is the story of the how you made it. Project Pages helps you express your work in all its glory, share it with others consistently, and learn from what you’ve made.

<h3>🧰 Is This a Portfolio Maker? A Portfolio Theme?</h3>
Well it’s a little of both, and more. There are portfolio themes out there, and other portfolio plugins. For me these lacked structure and didn’t ever end up looking how I wanted them to. Project Pages was built from the ground up for makers & creators who make cool stuff.
Fundamentally: Project Pages helps you record projects, and present them in your WordPress site.

<h3>A note about block-ready themes</h3>
Please note that if you are using an older theme which is not block-ready, you will not currently be able to use the new templates. This is because they take advantage of the block editor to allow you to customise your project pages.
I highly recommend you move to a block-ready theme, though I understand if you have a long-existing website you may not be able to do this quickly. Hence there is legacy support in Project Pages, ( so I’m sorry if the templates don’t look as pretty as <a href="https://projectpages.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">the examples</a> but unfortunately this is only available to modern themes, as supporting non-block themes is outside of what I can do for this for free! )

<h3>Project Pages – The online home for stuff you make</h3>
Whether you make furniture, buildings, art, take photos, collect rare objects, or invent things: Project Pages is the perfect place to log and share your side-projects, (especially if you’re already using WordPress).
Built by a maker, for makers. This is an adaptable, simple (but not shallow!), Project Portfolio generator. Project Pages helps you take the essence of each thing you make, record the making process, and share it in the most constructive way possible.

<h3>❓Common Questions and Answers about Project Pages / Online Portfolios</h3>
How do I make my own Portfolio website?
There are many ways to make your own portfolio website. I’m biased, but I think Installing WordPress and Project Pages is a great way. Using my WordPress template portfolio just makes it all easy.
What should be in a Portfolio website?
That all depends on your aims. If you’re intending to get work from this, try highlighting the work you’ve done already which qualifies you – perhaps client case studies, or particular projects.
If you aim is to document your work, for yourself and others then maybe put the meaningful projects in, or all of them so you can connect the dots later.
How do I get my portfolio noticed?
First up the thing 90% of people miss: MAKE A PORTFOLIO. So many people leave folders on their computers never to be shared publically.
Once you’ve got your Project Pages displaying your recent work, sharing becomes a consistent part of the workflow. Consistently sharing your work will get it noticed.
How do I make my portfolio stand out?
There’s obviously a marketing aspect here, that would be better answered on the Project Pages blog. Fundamentally though, people want stories. They want to see what you’ve made, how you’ve made it, and why.
There are many ways to make your portfolio stand out, but for me it starts with selecting projects you deeply care about or really interest you; this makes the standing out easier later because you can use the bigger context to reach more people.
How do you promote your portfolio on LinkedIn/Social Media?
Use Project Pages. Upload your Projects, give lots of context. Share consistently. It’s one thing having a portfolio maker make you a portfolio, but the key is to contextually share your projects after you’ve posted them. This sends your maker story out into the social web.
How much of this plugin is really ‘free’?
The core is most of the code, and it’ll always be free. It’s totally usable, in fact it’s epic, on it’s own. I’m building a few extra features that I needed personally, and that users have asked for; these are available in the <a href="https://projectpages.io/pro" rel="nofollow ugc">PRO version</a>, it’s just there for you to support the plugin if it’s valuable to you.
