As a writer, having a strong portfolio of content is essential to showcase your skills and abilities. It is a vital tool for any writer who wants to get ahead in the industry. Additionally, your portfolio can be used as a marketing tool to help land new clients and projects.

However, creating and maintaining a portfolio website can be a struggle, especially if you’re not a web developer or designer. You need to make sure that your portfolio is visually appealing, is up to date while putting in the minimal effort from your end. For example, you may use Google Sites, WordPress or even a simple Google Doc to build and maintain your portfolio. Though this gets the job done, you have to worry about maintaining its look and feel, ensuring that it is accessible which can take away a chunk of your time which could have been utilized to adding more content to your portfolio.

Enter: WriterGate Portfolio
