What Designfolio is

Designfolio is a web-based platform for creating and hosting portfolio websites, with tools for designers to build UX case studies, publish work, and seek jobs. Users can start with templates and customize sections; its case study editor is described as Notion-like. Case studies can be password protected and shared with selected people, and Figma files can be embedded directly. An AI writing assistant can help explain a designer’s process, decisions, and impact. The Free plan includes two case studies and one project, with starter templates, limited themes, visible branding, two AI case study analyses, and standard support. Pro Monthly costs $12 a month and adds unlimited case studies and projects, a custom domain, all templates and themes, analytics, AI job tools, and priority support. Pro Quarterly is listed at $29 a month, billed quarterly, and Pro Lifetime at $69 a month for lifetime access; both list unlimited case studies and projects, a custom domain, all templates, analytics, and AI job search and matching. Designfolio says users retain ownership of uploaded content and grants itself a license to store, display, and distribute it as needed to provide the service.
