Show IH: Online Portfolio Creator for Mobile Developers

Hey IH,

We have launched Project Showcase, a tool for developers “especially mobile developers” to create their portfolio website fast and easy.

→ How we came up with the idea?

First, I have built my portfolio website and it has been helping me to get some jobs. Then friends –especially developers, wanted me to send the source codes to build their own portfolio website. After these requests, I thought that it would be better to make a tool not only for my friends but also for other developers to create their own website.

→ What problems do we solve with our product?

The first question that appeared was “Why are you developing a tool that creates a portfolio website for people who know coding?”

After doing some research in developer communities we got some answers to this question.

  • Most of the developers want to have their own website but they don’t have time to build it.
  • Building a website can be excessive and overwhelming even for someone who develops software.
  • Developers usually don’t want to strive for design, making a website responsive, secure and/or SEO optimized etc.
  • Many mobile software developers do not have advanced knowledge about website development.

→ What can you do with our product?

  • Build your portfolio in minutes.
  • Fetch your projects from Github, AppStore, Playstore or add manually.
  • Secure with SSL even when connected to your own personal domain.
  • Optimized for search engines.
  • Get feedback from visitors for each of your projects.
  • Monitor your website’s stats from Google Analytics.
  • Connect to your own domain.
  • Add the email signature that we provide to increase your website’s traffic.
  • Select different themes for different components and customize the content.
  • Add photos, mockups, Youtube videos and even Soundcloud playlists to your projects.

We have more than 1k portfolios created and already started doing sales.

I'd appreciate any feedback from the IH community and we keep shaping Project Showcase according
to your feedback.

Thank you.

    It would be nice to be able to see a live preview of what a site built using this tool looks like, that’s the first thing I tried to do when visiting

      Hey Dean, actually there are 6 live portfolios as examples at our home page in the section 'See what you can do'. But obviously, it's a UX issue since you couldn't able to find it. We will work on it.

      Here is the link of my personal portfolio website created with Project Showcase: https://efehelvaci.com

    I love the web design - is it custom made?

      Hey Matt, thanks!

      If you're asking about the portfolio pages' design, the answer is yes. We are offering our users a preset of themes for each component on the page (header, projects, and footer) and you can customize it as you like. Also, we are adding a new theme each week! =)

    I absolutely love this! I wish I'd thought of it, which is high praise :P
