One set of content. A live portfolio and a polished CV.
Write your case studies once — Forge turns them into a published portfolio page and a matching PDF CV, so recruiters and hiring managers see the same story everywhere.
What you get
Portfolio + CV from one source
Update a project once and both your live page and your PDF CV reflect it. No more diverging versions that read as embellishment.
Case-study-first layouts
Sections structured around what reviewers actually read: problem, decisions, outcome — not a wall of technology logos.
Drag-and-drop editing
Arrange sections visually. Ship a presentable site in an hour instead of starting a portfolio-site side project you'll never finish.
PDF export for applications
A clean, ATS-friendly CV export that matches the portfolio's content — ready to attach to any application.
Publish as a live page
Your portfolio goes live with a shareable URL — put it in your GitHub profile, LinkedIn, and email signature.
Fast and readable by default
Static, lightweight pages with real HTML. No 4-second hero animations undermining a developer's own site.

Go live with a shareable URL and download the matching PDF CV.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a portfolio if I already have GitHub?
Yes — GitHub shows code, a portfolio shows judgment and outcomes. Reviewers read case studies far more often than source files. Our developer portfolio guide covers exactly what to include.
Is the CV export ATS-friendly?
The PDF export uses clean, parseable formatting — standard headings, real text, no tables-inside-tables — so applicant tracking systems can read it.
How many projects should I show?
Two or three, each with a short case study and a live link. One substantial finished project outweighs six tutorial clones.
Can I use it as a freelancer rather than a job-seeker?
Absolutely — the same case-study format converts clients. Pair it with an intake form and invoicing and you've covered the core freelancer toolkit.
