No more new files and emails for every correction. - **Follow up**: See who opened the portfolio and which sections they read. No more sending a PDF into a black box. - **Agree**: Let them ask about a project or book the next conversation on the page. No more chasing a reply over weeks of email. ## Portfolio templates for creative studios. Portfolio templates for architecture, interiors, events, web, film and photo, and branding.

Choose a private, public or open link, see what they read, and let them ask about a project or book the next conversation on the page. 1. **Present: Build it from blocks, in your studio's look.** — \- Blocks for case studies, showreels, stills and client quotes - Logo, fonts and colours set once - Start from a template or duplicate your last portfolio 2. **Send: Choose who sees the portfolio, then share the link.** — A private link opens only for the people you invite. A public link opens for anyone who has it. An open link is a standard web page that search engines can index. 3. **Follow up: Get an alert when it's opened, then see what they read.** — See who viewed it on a private link, the time spent on each section, heatmaps and session replay. On an open link, the numbers are anonymous. 4. **Agree: Add a booking calendar and answer questions on the page.** — Embed Calendly on any link so they can book the next conversation. On private and public links, signed-in viewers can ask about a project in the chat. ## Add more to every portfolio. Embed YouTube and Vimeo films, Figma boards and Calendly next to your case studies. Publish it all on your studio's own domain. ### Embed what you already use YouTube and Vimeo showreels, Figma boards, Loom walkthroughs, Google Maps and Calendly, live on the page. ### Talk on the page Pin a video or voice note next to a project, and chat with your client on private and public links. ### Your own domain Publish your portfolios at an address like docs.yourstudio.com. On the Pro plan. ### Connect ChatGPT or Claude Build, edit or check on documents from the chat. ### Live editing Your team works on the same document at the same time, and sees when your client is on it. ## What changes when the portfolio is a page. Three studios, in their own words. > I’ve used Formlio for design cases and proposals, and it’s a much better fit than the usual old-school tools. Most of them feel like a chore. Formlio doesn’t. It’s flexible, easy to use, and the support is seriously top tier. > > — Tadas Jotkevicius, Creative Art Director & 3D Artist, Tadas > The level of customisation is a real strength. It allows you to create something that feels aligned with your own visual identity, without compromising on speed or usability. And importantly, it moves proposals away from static documents into something far more dynamic and engaging. > > — Ana Grigorovici, Founder, Designer & Creative Strategist, Design Bench Studio > Formllio has changed the way we pitch for work. We often get comments from clients that they are impressed with the interactive nature of the pitch. Given a lot of our work is websites, it makes sense to have interactive presentations. The tool itself is easy to get up to speed with. The initial set up takes an hour or so, after that it’s very quick to create a proposal. The team are really responsive if you do have any questions about the set up. > > — Imogen Ley-Clowes, Founder & Creative Lead, Immo Studio ## Common questions about portfolios. Links, search visibility, chat, film quality, client accounts and reuse for your portfolios. ### Which link should I use for a portfolio? Use an open link for a portfolio anyone can find: it's a read-only web page. Use a private link when only invited people should see it, or a public link for anyone who has the link. ### Will my portfolio show up in search? Only on an open link, which search engines can index. Private and public links are not indexed. ### Can clients ask questions on an open link? Not in the chat. Chat only works on private and public links, once the viewer signs in, and an open link has no chat or live presence. You can still embed Calendly on an open link so they can book a conversation. ### Can I see who read my portfolio? On a private link you see who viewed it by name. On an open link the analytics are anonymous, and on a public link they stay anonymous until a visitor signs in. You get the time spent on each section, heatmaps and session replay. ### Will my films and images keep their quality? Upload high-resolution stills to gallery blocks and they stay full size on desktop, tablet and phone. Upload films up to 1 GB and 10 minutes, or embed them from YouTube or Vimeo. ### Do clients need an account? No password is needed. On an open or public link anyone can read without signing in. On a private link they sign in with a code sent to their email, the link in their invite or Google. ### Does Formlio connect to my CRM? Not today. Every portfolio sits in a stage on your Formlio dashboard, and automations can move it when it's viewed. ### Can I reuse my portfolio for the next client? Yes. Duplicate it and change the projects for the next client, or save your studio introduction and case studies as reusable blocks. ### Can I publish it on my own domain? Yes, on the Pro plan, at an address like docs.yourstudio.com. On every plan, documents live at your workspace address on formlio.com. > “The work studios make is considered down to the last detail. The documents that carry it to the client rarely are. We made Formlio so every one of them is as good as the work.” ## Start with your next portfolio.
