In short
Start from a Portfolio template, replace sample projects with your own pages, tune Styles for typography and color, set per-page titles and cover images for shares, then publish. One site — no separate CMS for the gallery.

Who this guide is for

Designers, photographers, developers, and studios who need a project showcase — case studies, selected work, about page, contact CTA — without wiring a CMS, a form plugin, and analytics separately. If you already have five blog posts about newsletters and docs, this fills the portfolio lane in the template gallery.

Step 1 — Pick a portfolio template

  • Open Sites → New site.
  • In step 2, filter or browse Portfolio templates.
  • Preview the demo on *.aveiro.page if linked from the gallery card.
  • Complete step 3 style presets — primary colors and typography you can refine later.
Template context: Choosing a template. Portfolio templates typically include:
  • A homepage with hero and featured work
  • A projects or work collection
  • About and contact patterns
  • Layout tuned for visual media and case-study copy

Step 2 — Replace sample content

Open the Pages panel and treat the file tree as your sitemap:
Page type
Tip
Homepage (`index.mdx`)One clear headline, one primary CTA (contact or view work)
Project pagesOne MDX page per case study — problem, role, outcome, images
AboutShort bio + credibility markers — clients, talks, awards
ContactEmail Signup or mailto + optional visitor login for chat
Delete or archive sample projects you will not use. Rename collections so URL segments match your brand (/work, /projects, /case-studies).

Step 3 — Images and media

Portfolio sites live or die on fast, crisp media:
  • Use the image component from the catalog — set alt text for accessibility and SEO
  • Prefer consistent aspect ratios across project grids
  • Set a cover image on each project page for social previews when someone shares a case study link
Page metadata: Page settings.

Step 4 — SEO and sharing

Each project page should have:
  • Unique title — “Acme Rebrand — Studio Name” not “Project 3”
  • Summary — one sentence that works as a tweet or LinkedIn preview line
  • Site-wide default social image in Settings → SEO as fallback
Guide: SEO and social sharing. Connect a custom domain when you are ready to share the URL on applications and email signatures: How to connect a custom domain on Aveiro.

Step 5 — Optional — mailing list on a portfolio site

Many portfolios add a lightweight “occasional updates” list:
  • Add an Email Signup component to the footer or contact page.
  • Write honest frequency copy.
  • Enable welcome email after domain verification.
You do not need a separate ESP — see How to start a newsletter from your website.

Step 6 — Publish and measure

  • Publish Style & layout if you changed theme tokens heavily.
  • Publish Page content for homepage and each project page.
  • Enable Analytics when you start driving traffic — it's cookieless, so no consent banner appears.
  • Name events on primary CTAs (portfolio_contact, project_inquiry) — Events.
Deep dive on measurement: Website CTA analytics beyond page views.

Portfolio checklist

  • Template matches how much copy vs imagery you need
  • URL segments finalized (/work/project-name)
  • Every project has title, summary, and cover image
  • Homepage CTA is obvious on mobile
  • Custom domain connected (optional but recommended before job search / client send)
  • At least one analytics event on contact or signup CTA

FAQ

Can I run a blog and portfolio on one site? Yes — add a blog collection beside your projects folder. Sort and layout can differ per collection: Collection layouts. Should I use AI to write case studies? Use Quasar for draft copy, then edit for specifics only you know. See Edit your website with AI without breaking layout. How many projects before launch? Three strong case studies beat twelve thin placeholders. Publish, then add projects iteratively.
