The website your LinkedIn deserves

Turn your LinkedIn profile into a portfolio that opens doors.

Research shows your LinkedIn link gets clicked — but most professionals send visitors to nothing, or to a half-built site. We build the portfolio that finishes the introduction your LinkedIn started. Custom-designed, delivered in days, owned by you forever.

Why a portfolio works

Six research findings on what a portfolio actually does for you.

We don't make up benefits. Each finding below is sourced from published research by Stanford, the Nielsen Norman Group, Lindgaard et al., and others. Full references are listed at the bottom of this page.

50ms
First impression

Visitors decide in milliseconds.

Research at Carleton University found that users form a credibility judgment about your website within just 50 milliseconds — before reading a single word. A professional portfolio captures that snap judgment in your favor; a half-built one does the opposite.

Lindgaard et al., 2006 — Behaviour & Information Technology
46%
Cite design

Design beats content for trust.

The Stanford Web Credibility Project surveyed 2,500+ participants and found that 46.1% cite visual design as the single most important factor in judging a website's credibility — more than content quality, brand recognition, or any other signal.

Fogg et al., 2002 — Stanford Web Credibility Project
35%
Higher earnings

More earnings, measurably.

Independent freelancers, consultants, and service providers with their own portfolio website earn 35% more on average than those who rely solely on marketplaces or LinkedIn. Owning your own platform reduces dependence on third-party rules.

Colorlib Freelance Statistics, 2026
77%
Career impact

Personal branding advances careers.

77% of professionals surveyed reported that intentional personal branding — including a dedicated portfolio website — measurably advanced their career, opened networking opportunities, or led to client acquisition.

ElySpace Personal Branding Report, 2025
8.4%
Per 0.1s faster

Speed converts visitors.

A joint Google / Deloitte Digital study found that improving page load time by just 0.1 seconds increases conversion rates by 8.4% on average. Lead-generation form completions improved by 21.6%. We build sites that load in under 1.5 seconds.

web.dev / Deloitte Digital, 2020
Aesthetic
Usability effect

Beautiful sites feel more competent.

The Nielsen Norman Group's Aesthetic-Usability Effect research shows that visually appealing websites are perceived as more usable, trustworthy, and competent — even when functionality is objectively identical to less attractive sites.

The full process

Five steps from "I should have a portfolio" to launched.

No surprises. No 40-page brand questionnaires. No agency back-and-forth. Here's exactly what happens, in order, and when we ask for payment.

01

Watch the 60-second video

YOU · 60 SEC

First, watch our short walkthrough above so you know exactly what you're signing up for.

02

Submit the intake form

YOU · 10-15 MIN

Fill out our form. We collect everything we need in one go so we don't pester you later:

  • Your CV or résumé (PDF)
  • Photos of yourself (headshots)
  • Video links you've appeared in
  • Basic info: name, email, profession
  • Social profiles & professional links
  • 3-5 inspiration sites you admire
  • Color and tone preferences
  • Plan you're interested in
03

30-minute Zoom call with us

BOTH · ~30 MIN

We schedule a Zoom call within 24-48 hours of receiving your form. We discuss your goals, answer questions, and confirm scope. No payment yet — this call is free and no-commitment. If we both feel it's a fit, we send a clear quote and timeline.

04

Pay deposit · we build

2-14 DAYS · OUR END

You pay a 50% deposit via PayPal or Stripe to kick off. We design and build your portfolio. You get a private preview link to review, send edits, and request revisions (1-3 rounds).

05

Final payment · launch · handover

SAME DAY

You approve the final design. Pay the remaining 50%. We launch on your domain (in your name), hand over files, give admin access, and the project is complete. You own everything from here.

Plans & pricing

Three plans. Same feature rows. Easy to compare.

We've organized each plan with the same feature labels in the same order, so you can scan top-to-bottom and see exactly what's included — or what's not — at each tier.

"I'd been putting off building my consulting site for almost a year. Folio had mine live in four days, and it looked better than anything I would've made myself. Already converted two LinkedIn leads."

The two of us

You'll always know who's working on your site.

Folio Studio is exactly two people. Not an agency. Not a faceless freelance marketplace. The same two humans handle every project from intake form to launch day.

"I'd rather build 8 great portfolios a month than 30 mediocre ones. Every site has my code in it."

I design and develop every portfolio that ships through Folio. My background is custom web development for service businesses — small studios, consulting firms, professional practices.

I started Folio after seeing too many talented professionals lose deals to competitors with weaker credentials but better websites.

"If you ever feel like you don't know what's happening with your project, that's on me. I'll fix it."

I run everything you'll experience as a client — onboarding, copy guidance, revision rounds, launch, follow-up. You'll have my direct email.

My job is to make the build process feel easy on your end. Quick replies, clear next steps, no surprises.

Questions, answered

Everything worth knowing before saying yes.

No payment is required before our Zoom call. After the call (if we both agree it's a fit), you pay a 50% deposit to start work. The remaining 50% is paid only when you approve the final design — before launch. For Starter plans ($149), full payment is requested upfront due to the fast turnaround. We accept PayPal and Stripe.
Yes — 100%. The domain is registered in your name from day one. The website files are handed over on launch. There is no platform you're locked into and no monthly fee required to keep the site online. If you decided tomorrow you never wanted to talk to us again, your portfolio would keep running on your domain.
Starter plans go live within 48 hours of payment. Professional plans take 5-7 days. Premium plans take 2-3 weeks because they include video production and full copywriting. These aren't marketing numbers — they're real timelines we consistently hit.
Not at all. The monthly subscription is completely optional. Most clients pay once for their portfolio and host it themselves, never paying us again. The subscription is only for clients who want ongoing updates, content additions, or hands-off hosting. Cancel anytime — your site stays yours.
Currently three add-ons: Business Email setup ($59 one-time), Appointment Booking Integration ($79 one-time), and SEO Boost Package ($149 one-time). All can be added to any plan during your Zoom call and bundled into a single invoice. We're adding more add-ons based on what clients request.
Real people. We use AI tools to move faster on the Starter plan — that's how we keep prices down — but Professional and Premium plans are designed and built by humans end-to-end. You'll know exactly who you're working with: you have direct email access to both of us and a Zoom call before payment.
No problem. Submit what you have — even just a LinkedIn URL is a starting point. On the Zoom call, we'll work through what's missing. For Premium clients, we write the bio and content from scratch. For Starter and Professional, we'll guide you on what we need and help shape rough material into final copy.
