Thousands of people are already using Wakelet to host their online portfolios. In fact, the platform has often been rated as one of best portfolios websites out there.

Here are a few reasons why you should create your online portfolio on Wakelet:

A place for everything

With Wakelet, there are no limitations. Articles, videos, maps, tweets, images, Facebook posts, PDF documents, Flipgrid videos, Google Docs, and more – the list of links that you can add to your Wakelet collection is endless. This allows for a broad range of content to be included. So you can truly express your talents!

Clear and easy-to-use

With Wakelet, you can put your work into separate collections, sorted by medium, subject, publication, date and more – it’s completely up to you! That way, you can share only the collections that are most relevant to the role – no time-consuming design work or awkward explanations needs. Sports journalist Jonty Colman’s Wakelet profile is a great example, with all of his work divided by publication – take a look here!

And if you’d like to be even more organized, you can divide your collections into sections.
