TEMPLATE / FREELANCERS
A small portfolio with a clear way to hire you.
A bio link is not the complete case-study archive. It is the mobile front door: selected proof, a concise point of view, and the next step for a potential client.

USEFUL BY DESIGN
Built around the decision a visitor needs to make.
Each guide uses a real page structure, specific examples, and an honest description of what Cueful can do today.
Lead with the service
Use the headline to say what you make, who it helps, or how the work feels. A potential client should not need to decode a clever title before understanding the offer.
- Specific role or service
- Recognizable audience or problem
- Short supporting point of view
Curate proof for a phone
Feature a few projects with descriptive titles and supporting lines. Link to deeper case studies elsewhere instead of compressing the entire portfolio into identical buttons.
- Two or three representative projects
- One process or expertise artifact
- Optional thumbnails for recognition
Make contact unambiguous
End the decision path with availability, email, booking, or an inquiry page. Name the action and set expectations about the kind of work you accept.
- Visible availability context
- Direct contact destination
- No mystery labels such as “Let’s connect”

COMMON QUESTIONS
The short answers.
Can a link-in-bio page replace a full portfolio?
For some freelancers, yes. For detailed case studies, use it as a focused front door that links to the deeper portfolio or individual project pages.
How many projects should I feature?
Start with two or three that represent the work you want to be hired for. Quality and relevance matter more than showing every project.
Can I track potential client interest?
Cueful tracks page views, project-link opens, CTR, referrers, devices, and countries. It does not identify individual visitors.
