A developer portfolio website, built and run by an AI agent
A developer portfolio website has one job: let a hiring manager or client see in a minute what you build, what you build it with and how to reach you. It does not need to be a side project of its own.
With Sitelas you ask an AI agent such as Claude for the site, in plain words. It starts from one of the templates below, fills in your roles, projects and links, and sends a preview link that isn't public yet. You publish when it reads right, then add each new project the same way.
Recommended templates
Console
A dark two-column developer portfolio: sticky intro on the left, experience and projects on the right.
Sawad
A dark portfolio for freelance developers: your photo and links beside your projects, tools and a blog.
Dossier
A split-screen site for freelancers: contact details always visible, case studies and services beside them.
Keel
For open-source libraries, frameworks and CLIs: a copyable install line, docs, a showcase and a growing changelog.
Each template is an example of a website you can build with Sitelas. See every template.
What a developer portfolio website needs
- Who you are, in one line
- Your name, the work you do and the stack you do it in, above the fold. A reader decides in seconds whether to keep going.
- Three to six projects
- Each with what it does, your part in it and the tools used, plus a link to the code or the live thing. Fewer, finished projects beat a long list.
- Experience
- Roles with dates and one line on what you shipped in each. In Console, experience is a list you add entries to; Sawad gives it a page of its own.
- Links that work
- GitHub, LinkedIn and email, the same on every page. Sawad also ends on a contact form that asks for a budget, for freelance work.
- Writing, if you write
- A post on how you solved something shows judgment better than a skills list. Sawad has a blog; any template can have one added.
- Your own domain
- yourname.dev reads better on a CV than a subdomain. Custom domains are on Pro, with the SSL certificate handled for you.

Build yours by asking your AI agent
- 1Connect Sitelas to Claude, ChatGPT or another AI agent that supports MCP. How to connect
- 2Ask for it in plain words: “Build me a developer portfolio with the Console template: I'm a backend engineer, here are my last three roles and two side projects with their GitHub links.”
- 3Open the preview link it sends back, ask for changes, and publish when it reads right.
Then keep changing it from the same chat
- Rewrite the copy“Rewrite every page in a warmer, friendlier voice.”
- Change the design“Make the colours earthier and use a serif for headings.”
- Add or remove pages“Add a Pricing page and remove the Blog.”
- Rearrange sections“Move the testimonials higher and add an FAQ.”
- Swap the photos“Replace the photos with ones that fit my business.”
- Run the site“Show me this week's form messages, then publish.”
Everything here can also be done by hand in the visual editor.
Questions
Can I add projects and roles myself later?
Yes. In Console, projects and experience are collections; in Sawad, projects and blog posts are, each with its own page. Add an entry in the editor, or ask your agent to, and it appears in the right place.
Do I need to write code or host anything?
No. Sitelas hosts the site, and your agent builds and edits it through the Sitelas connector. If you would rather work from your editor, the same connector works in Cursor, VS Code and other agents that support MCP.
Is there a template for an open-source project rather than a person?
Yes, Keel: an install line visitors can copy, docs, a showcase and a changelog you add to with each release.
What does it cost?
Nothing to start, with no trial clock. A free site runs on a sitelas.com address; Pro is $9 a month per site ($90 a year) for your own domain, analytics and more room.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Point your domain at the site and the SSL certificate is issued and renewed for you.
