Getting Started with ARTdeck

Follow this step-by-step guide to create your professional portfolio in minutes

Step 1
Create Your Account
  1. Go to artdeck.app/signup
  2. Enter your name, email address and a password
  3. Click "Create account", or "Continue with Google" instead
  4. 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:

  1. Username: Choose a unique username (this will be your portfolio URL: artdeck.app/@your-username)
  2. 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
  3. 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:

  1. Create a Section: Click "Add section" and give it a name (e.g., "Web Design", "Photography")
  2. Add Entries: Within each section, add portfolio entries (your individual projects or works)
  3. Upload Images: Add images to showcase each entry. Drag to reorder them
  4. Add Descriptions: Write titles and descriptions for each entry
Step 4
Preview Your Work

Before publishing, preview how your portfolio looks to visitors:

  1. 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
  2. Switch the Builder preview between Desktop and Mobile to check both
  3. Test all links and images
  4. Make any necessary adjustments
Step 5
Publish Your Portfolio

Ready to go live? Here's how to publish:

  1. Go to Overview in your dashboard
  2. Turn on the switch in the "Your Portfolio" card
  3. Your portfolio is now live at artdeck.app/@your-username
  4. Share the link on social media, email, or resume

✅ Success: You can unpublish or make changes anytime. Updates appear immediately on your live portfolio.
