Websites
Portfolio website for web developers
A developer portfolio can be a quick page with your projects and GitHub, or your own HTML and CSS site that shows you can build one. Liite does both: build from blocks, or upload a zip and get a live link.
Two ways to make it
If you mainly want recruiters to find your projects, a block page is enough: your name, your stack, three projects with links to the code and the live demo, and your GitHub. It takes minutes and stays fast.
If the site itself is part of the portfolio, write it in HTML and CSS (or build it with your framework) and upload the output. A zip or a folder with an index.html goes live as-is at yourname.liite.site, and single-page apps can fall back to index.html.
What to show
Hiring managers skim. Make each project answer what it does, what you built and what it runs on.
- Three to five projects, each with a one-line summary, the stack and links to code and demo
- Which part you built, if it was a team project
- Your GitHub and LinkedIn profiles
- A way to contact you, and where you're based or willing to work
- Your CV as a PDF, for people who ask for one
Students and new graduates
If you're studying computer science and don't have client work yet, course projects, hackathon entries and things you built for yourself all count. Say what problem each one solves and what you learnt. A small, finished, working project beats a big unfinished one.
Free plan limits for uploads
Uploaded sites on Free can be up to 3 MB, need a card on file to publish (starting the Pro trial counts) and go offline 7 days after your last publish. That's fine for a quick share, not for a site you'll leave up for months.
On Pro, uploads can be 25 MB and don't expire. A block page on Free doesn't expire either.
A real example
The Personal template with a made-up developer. It already has GitHub and email icons; swap the blog link for your projects, or upload your own HTML site instead.

Questions
- Should I build my developer portfolio from scratch?
- If you're applying for front-end roles, a hand-built site shows the skill directly. For back-end or data roles, a quick page that links to good repositories often works just as well.
- Can I host a portfolio made with HTML and CSS?
- Yes. Upload a single HTML file, a zip or a folder with an index.html and it's live at yourname.liite.site. On Free it goes offline 7 days after your last publish; on Pro it stays up.
- Can I use a framework like React?
- Yes, upload the build output. Turn on the single-page app option so unknown paths fall back to index.html.
- Where should I host a developer portfolio long-term for free?
- A Liite block page is free and doesn't expire. For a hand-coded site you want online for free indefinitely, a static host tied to your Git repository, such as GitHub Pages, is a common choice.
Make yours
Start from the Personal page template, change it to suit you, and publish when it's ready.
