How to Add Portfolio Items to Your Profile

Overview

The portfolio section of your BeBee profile lets you showcase completed projects, designs, case studies, writing samples, or any other tangible work. It is especially valuable for freelancers, creatives, and service providers who want to demonstrate their capabilities beyond a traditional resume.

Adding a Portfolio Item

1. Go to your profile and scroll to the Portfolio section.
2. Click Add Project.
3. Fill in the following fields:

Title

Give your project a clear, descriptive name. For example: "E-commerce Redesign for Acme Corp" rather than just "Web Project".

Description

Explain what the project involved, your role, the tools or technologies you used, and the outcome. Keep it to one or two short paragraphs. Highlight measurable results when possible (e.g., "Increased conversion rate by 35%").

Images

Upload one or more images that illustrate the project. Screenshots, photos of finished work, before-and-after comparisons, or infographics all work well. The first image becomes the thumbnail shown in search results.

Links

Add a URL to the live project, a case study, a GitHub repository, or any external resource where viewers can learn more.

1. Click Save to publish the item to your profile.

Best Practices

• Lead with your best work. The first few portfolio items get the most attention.
• Write for your audience. If you target recruiters, emphasize outcomes and technologies. If you target clients, focus on the problem you solved and the business impact.
• Keep images clean. Crop screenshots to remove unnecessary browser chrome or desktop clutter.
• Update regularly. Remove outdated projects and add recent ones to keep your portfolio fresh.

Editing or Removing Items

To edit an existing portfolio item, click the pencil icon on the item card. To delete it, click the trash icon and confirm. Deleted items cannot be recovered.
