Your Portfolio, Built in Under a Minute

A portfolio website is essential for showcasing your work. With GenMB, you can have one live in about 60 seconds. Here's how.

The Single Prompt Approach

Try this prompt:

"Create a modern portfolio website for a UI/UX designer named Alex Chen. Include: a hero section with name and tagline 'Designing experiences that matter', an about section, a projects grid showing 6 project cards with images and titles, a skills section with icons, and a contact section with email and social links. Use a clean, minimal design with a dark navy background and coral accent color."

What You'll Get

GenMB will generate:

  • A complete, responsive portfolio
  • Professional typography and spacing
  • Hover effects on project cards
  • A cohesive color scheme
  • Mobile-friendly layout

Customizing Your Portfolio

Once generated, refine with follow-up prompts:

Add more sections:

"Add a testimonials section with 3 client quotes"

Change the style:

"Make the design more playful with rounded corners and brighter colors"

Add interactivity:

"Add a smooth scroll effect when clicking navigation links"

Framework Choice

For portfolios, we recommend:

  • Vanilla JS: Fastest load times, great for simple portfolios
  • React: Better for portfolios with complex filtering or animations
  • React+TypeScript: Best for portfolios with type-safe data and complex interactivity

Making It Yours

Replace the placeholder content:

  1. Update the name and tagline
  2. Add your real project images
  3. Update links to your actual social profiles
  4. Customize colors to match your personal brand
