What you get

One link that shows who you are.

Your story, your experience, your best work and a resume download, on a page that looks great on a phone. Designed around you, not a template.

Just a preview. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Sample layout. Every site is designed around the person.

Why bother

Most of the people you're up against only have a resume.

A personal site is one of the simplest ways to look more prepared than the rest of the pile.

01

Stand out in the stack

Hiring teams read resumes that all look the same. A link to your own site makes yours the one they remember.

02

Show, don't just claim

Projects, results and real examples of your work. Especially useful in tech, design, marketing and data roles.

03

Look credible when they Google you

People search your name before an interview. Give them a page you chose, not a random mix of results.

04

Network with one link

Put it in your email signature, LinkedIn, business card or QR code. One link says it all.

05

Tell your career-change story

Switching fields? A site lets you frame your experience for where you're going, not just where you've been.

06

It's yours

Your name, your domain, your page. No algorithm, no ads, no one else's profile next to yours.

Pricing

One price. No subscription.

You could build it yourself or hire a designer. Here's how that compares.

Build it yourself

Your weekends + monthly fees

Pick a builder, learn it, write the copy, fight the layout. Most people mean to and never finish.

Hire a freelance designer

Often hundreds of dollars

Quotes, calls and weeks of back-and-forth for what should be a simple page.

that's me
Why I do this

My own portfolio site helped me get hired.

When I was job hunting, I built myself a simple personal site and put the link on everything. It gave people a way to see who I was beyond a one-page PDF, and it helped me land my job.

Since then I've noticed how few people have one. Not because they don't want one, but because it's one more thing to figure out while you're already busy applying.

So I'll do it for you. You deal with me directly, from first draft to launch. No agency, no account manager, no outsourcing.

What people say

From people who finally have a site.

I'd been meaning to make a site for a year. Sent Ian my resume on a Sunday and had a draft by Tuesday. It looked better than anything I would have made myself.
MTMarcus T.Computer science grad
I'm moving from teaching into instructional design and had nothing that showed it. Now I have one link with my projects, and I finally look like I belong in the field.
DRDanielle R.Career changer
Ian made the whole thing easy. I answered a few questions, he handled the writing and the domain, and I put the link at the top of my resume the same day it went live.

Questions

Good questions. Straight answers.

Do I really not pay until I see it?

Yes. I build your draft first and send you a preview link. If you like it, you pay $99 and it goes live. If you don't, you owe nothing.

I already have LinkedIn. Why do I need this?

LinkedIn puts you in the same template as everyone else, next to ads and other candidates. Your site is only you: your story, your work and your resume, laid out the way you want, at one link you own.

I don't have projects or a design portfolio. Is this still for me?

Yes. Most people's "work" is their experience. I'll turn your resume into a page that reads well and makes your strengths obvious. School projects, volunteer work and side projects all count.

What do you need from me?

Your resume or LinkedIn, a photo if you have one, and links to anything you want to show. It takes about five minutes. I'll ask follow-up questions if I need more.

How fast is it?

Your first draft arrives within 48 hours of getting your info. Most people are live a day or two after that, depending on edits and domain setup.

Do I need my own domain?

I recommend one. A name like yourname.com costs about $12 a year, you own it, and I'll connect it for you. If you'd rather skip it, your site can go live on a free link instead.

Are there monthly fees?

No. Hosting is free. The only ongoing cost is your domain, if you get one, paid directly to the registrar.

Can I change things later?

Yes. Just email me what you want changed. Text edits are always free. Bigger changes, like new sections or pages, are quoted up front.

Who actually builds it?

I do. Every site. You'll email with me directly the whole way through.
