  • Add a separate site logo and favicon
  • Keep autosave and export status visible

Current release facts

Questions before you begin.

Clear answers about local storage, identity, export, publishing, and what is not available yet.

01Do I need an account?

No. The current release opens directly in your browser and does not require an email address, password, or account.

02Where is my portfolio saved?

Your active project and processed images are saved in this browser with IndexedDB. Clearing site data, private browsing, storage pressure, or losing the device can remove unbacked-up work, so download project backups regularly.

03Can I build on a phone?

Yes. On small screens the builder gives Content, Design, Preview, and Export their own reachable workspaces instead of squeezing in the desktop layout.

04What do I receive when I download my portfolio?

A ZIP containing index.html, portfolio.css, the local images and site logo you use, favicon files, local fonts when needed, and deployment instructions. The site needs no Portfolio Work Studio, Astro, or React runtime.

05Can I publish the downloaded website anywhere?

You can use ordinary static hosting that accepts HTML, CSS, and local assets. Hosting setup, provider limits, and domain configuration remain your responsibility.

06Can I change templates later?

Yes. Your structured content moves between all ten published templates in the builder. Review the result after switching because each design emphasizes the same material differently.

07What is the difference between a site logo, favicon, and profile image?

The site logo identifies your portfolio in its header. The favicon is the small browser-tab icon. The profile image is your portrait or personal image inside the portfolio content.

08Does Portfolio Work Studio upload my images?

No portfolio text, project images, profile image, site logo, or favicon is uploaded by the current builder. Supported files are checked and processed in your browser, then stored locally with the project.

09Will hosted publishing and custom domains be available later?

They are not part of this release. They may be considered in a separately reviewed future phase; today you download the static site and choose where to host it.

A strong structure is ready

Your work is ready to be seen.

Choose a useful starting point, shape it into your own, and leave with a website you control.
