Creators
Your work, everywhere, on a page you actually own.
You publish to four platforms and your portfolio site shows work from 2023, because updating it means exporting, resizing and uploading the same thing a fifth time. It does not have to be a manual step.
Who this is for
Photographers, designers, illustrators, musicians, writers and video makers who publish regularly to social platforms and keep a site of their own, and who have quietly stopped updating that site because posting to it is the fifth version of a job already done four times.
A good fit
- Anyone publishing to more than one platform on a regular schedule
- Portfolio and personal sites on Framer, Webflow, Squarespace or Ghost
- Creators who want a link-in-bio page that is actually theirs
- Musicians and video makers whose newest work lives on YouTube rather than in a folder
Probably not for you if
- A curated portfolio where every piece is deliberately selected and sequenced. That is an argument for hand-building, and it is a good one
- Anyone whose best work is unpublished; a feed can only show what exists on a platform
The portfolio that stopped being updated
Almost every creator site has the same failure mode. It was beautiful when it launched, it represents work from whenever that was, and the newest thing on it is two years older than the newest thing on the feed everyone actually sees.
- Publishing to your own site is always the fifth version of a task already done four times, so it is the one that gets dropped
- The platform where your newest work lives is a place you rent, reach changes, terms change, and accounts get locked for reasons nobody explains
- A link-in-bio page owned by someone else has exactly the same problem with a nicer interface
- Screenshots of good posts go stale, and embedding each platform's own widget gives you four different visual languages on one page
Video-first is the layout most creator work wants: a large lead item with the rest as a gallery beneath it, so the newest piece gets the room and the back catalogue stays one glance away.
What to put where
The useful split is between the work itself, which wants to be seen, and the evidence that people care about it, which wants to be near a hire-me button.
A recent-work strip on the homepage
Above your selected portfolio rather than replacing it. Curated work says what you are capable of; a live feed says you are still working, which is the question a prospective client is silently asking.
A video-first page for a channel
YouTube uploads and Shorts as a thumbnail gallery with durations and view counts. It works today with nothing more than a public channel, so it is usually the fastest thing to get live.
A links page you own
The floating launcher layout gives you a link-in-bio equivalent on your own domain, where the analytics are yours and nobody can change the terms underneath you.
A press or mentions section
An RSS feed of anywhere you have been written about, pulled automatically. No API, no account, and it updates the moment a publication posts.
Owning the page is the whole point
Every reason to do this comes back to the same one. Platforms change their reach, their terms and occasionally their minds about your account, and none of that is negotiable from your side. A page on your own domain, fed by those platforms, is the arrangement that survives any of it.
- Posts already collected keep displaying even if a source is disconnected. The wall does not empty because a platform did
- Your domain accrues the search value, and a feed rendered as real HTML in your page is content search engines can read
- One curated feed can be embedded on several pages in different layouts, so a redesign is a styling change rather than a migration
- If you leave a platform entirely, the work you already pulled in stays on your site; only new posts stop arriving
Creators questions, answered
Yes: one feed can mix every network you have connected, ordered by recency or curated by hand. You can also keep them in separate feeds and place each one where it belongs: video on a work page, writing on a journal page, everything together on the homepage.
It depends on the network. Instagram serves its API only to Professional accounts (Business or Creator) and switching is free and reversible. YouTube needs only a public channel, and RSS needs nothing at all.
It should not, and it is not trying to. A selected portfolio is an argument you are making about your work; a live feed is evidence that the work is ongoing. Most creator sites want both, with the feed sitting underneath the selection.
Everything already collected stays on your site and keeps displaying. Nothing new arrives from that source until you post again or reconnect it. Deleting the source is what removes its posts from your feeds, disconnecting alone does not.
Yes. One feed on one website with two free sources, no card and no expiry. It carries a small badge on the widget, which is the trade. For a single portfolio site pulling from a platform or two, that is often the whole requirement.
