# Build a personal portfolio

> A polished site that shows off your work, with your own domain.

A portfolio is the simplest useful thing you can build with the AI Builder — and the fastest way to learn how it works.

## What to ask for

Describe yourself and the work you want to show. For example:

> Build a portfolio for a freelance photographer. Dark, minimal design, a full-width gallery on the home page, an about page, and a contact form that emails me.

The Builder creates the pages, layout, gallery and contact form in one run. From there you refine it by chatting: "make the gallery three columns", "add my logo to the top left".

## Good things to add next

* **Your own domain** — connect one from the Publish tab, or buy one with credits.
* **A contact form** — ask for name, email and message fields.
* **SEO** — run a scan from the SEO tab so Google can find you.

## Tips

* Attach two or three screenshots of sites you like. The Builder uses them as design references.
* Keep the first prompt small, then iterate. Small changes are cheaper and more precise.
