Getting Started with ARTdeck
Follow this step-by-step guide to create your professional portfolio in minutes
Step 1
Create Your Account
- Go to artdeck.app/signup
- Enter your name, email address and a password
- Click "Create account", or "Continue with Google" instead
- If you signed up with email, verify your address to activate your account
Step 2
Set Up Your Profile
After creating your account, you'll be taken to the onboarding flow:
- Username: Choose a unique username (this will be your portfolio URL: artdeck.app/@your-username)
- Profile Details: Add a profile picture, your name (used as your portfolio title), a short bio (2-3 sentences work best) and your website. All of these are optional
- Review: Check your details and confirm
⚠️ Note: Choose a professional username that represents your brand or name. You cannot change it later. Your portfolio title, bio and website can be changed under About in your dashboard.
Step 3
Create Your Portfolio
Open Builder from your dashboard:
- Create a Section: Click "Add section" and give it a name (e.g., "Web Design", "Photography")
- Add Entries: Within each section, add portfolio entries (your individual projects or works)
- Upload Images: Add images to showcase each entry. Drag to reorder them
- Add Descriptions: Write titles and descriptions for each entry
Step 4
Preview Your Work
Before publishing, preview how your portfolio looks to visitors:
- Use the live preview next to the Builder, or click "Preview Mode" on the Overview page to open the full page. Only you can see it until you publish
- Switch the Builder preview between Desktop and Mobile to check both
- Test all links and images
- Make any necessary adjustments
Step 5
Publish Your Portfolio
Ready to go live? Here's how to publish:
- Go to Overview in your dashboard
- Turn on the switch in the "Your Portfolio" card
- Your portfolio is now live at artdeck.app/@your-username
- Share the link on social media, email, or resume
✅ Success: You can unpublish or make changes anytime. Updates appear immediately on your live portfolio.
