Choose your best work, turn your photos into clear projects and share a portfolio clients can explore. Follow the steps on the web or your phone.
Start free with one project · No coding or design skills needed
Follow the six steps
Start with a single project you are proud of. These six steps cover what to include and how to present it in Portfolio Store, using Northline Woodworks to show the finished result.
A custom table, fitted cabinetry or a carefully joined drawer can each tell a different story. Choose jobs that represent your quality, range and ideal client work.
Gather two to five strong examples, then start your free portfolio with your best project. Add more projects when you need a paid plan.
Try this: lead with a finished piece, then show the material and craftsmanship that make it yours.
Use a clear finished view first. Add another angle, a close-up of the joints or finish, and a process image that explains how the piece was made. For restoration or fitted work, a matched before-and-after pair makes the change easy to judge.
Phone photos work well with natural light, sharp focus and a tidy background. Remove near-duplicates and get permission before showing a client's home or identifying details.
Choose only the images that help a client understand the job.
Open Portfolio Store and sign in. Add your name, avatar, location and a short bio describing the woodworking services you offer. Then create a project, give it a specific title and upload your selected photos.
Explain the brief, materials, approach and result in one short paragraph. Include a timeline only when it helps the client understand the scope.

Start free with one project, then return to the guide to refine the presentation.
Try the available portfolio templates and check your work on a phone as well as a larger screen. Your photos and project information do the hard work; the layout should make them easy to browse.

Open your public portfolio and check the photos, text and contact information before sharing it. Send the link with quotes, email replies, WhatsApp messages and social bios so every lead can review your work quickly.
Introduce the most relevant project in your message: “Here is a similar built-in cabinet I made, with close-ups of the oak finish.” Give clients a reason to open the link.
Review your portfolio after each strong project or at least monthly. Add recent jobs, replace repetitive images and keep your services and contact details current. Group projects by service type when it helps clients find relevant work.
A focused selection of recent furniture, cabinetry and joinery communicates more than an unedited archive. Keep the quality bar consistent across every project you publish.
