How to Build a Personal Portfolio Website on WhatsApp

Showcase your work with a stunning portfolio site built entirely through WhatsApp. Perfect for designers, developers, photographers, and freelancers.

Your portfolio is often the first impression potential clients or employers have of your work. With Nansi, you can create a professional portfolio website in minutes - no computer needed, no design skills required.

Step 1: Introduce Yourself

Start by telling Nansi about yourself and what you do. The more context you provide, the better your portfolio will represent you.

Example Prompt

"Create a portfolio website for me. I'm Kofi Mensah, a freelance graphic designer based in Accra, Ghana. I specialize in brand identity, logo design, and packaging. I want a clean, minimal design with a dark theme that lets my work stand out."

Step 2: Add Your Projects

Once your basic portfolio is live, add your best work. Describe each project and attach images to showcase it.

Example Prompt (with images attached)

"Add these projects to my portfolio: 1) Darangi Restaurant - brand identity and menu design, 2) TechHub Accra - logo and website mockups, 3) Kente Coffee - packaging design for a coffee brand"

Tip: You can send multiple images at once. Nansi will organize them into a clean gallery layout.

Step 3: Add Contact Information

Make it easy for potential clients to reach you. Add your contact details and social links.

Example Prompt

"Add a contact section with my email kofi@designstudio.com, my Instagram @kofidesigns, and my LinkedIn profile. Also add a WhatsApp button so clients can message me directly."

Step 4: Customize Your Design

Fine-tune the look and feel of your portfolio. You can adjust colors, fonts, layout, and more.

Example Prompt

"Make the project images larger and add a subtle hover animation. Change the accent color to gold."
