How to create a portfolio in Glide?

Step 1: Sign Up or Log In to Glide

Head over to Glide's website and either sign up for a new account or log in if you’re already part of the Glide family.

Step 2: Start a New Project

On your Glide dashboard, hit that “+ New Project” button. You’ll get to choose between making a mobile app or a web app. Glide’s got you covered for both.

Step 3: Choose a Template or a Blank Project

Glide has a bunch of templates you can tweak to your heart’s content. Pick one that fits your portfolio vibe, or if you’re feeling adventurous, start with a blank project.

Step 4: Connect Your Data Source

Glide apps run on data from Google Sheets or Glide Tables. Link up a Google Sheet with the data you want in your portfolio, or create new Glide Tables right there on the platform.

Step 5: Customize Your Data

Inside Glide, you can edit the columns and rows of your data to make sure it’s all set for your portfolio. Maybe you need columns for project titles, descriptions, images, links, and any other details.

Step 6: Design Your App Layout

Use the Glide interface to decide how each screen should look. Add components like text, images, buttons, and links to your data. Organize these into different tabs or sections so your portfolio is easy to navigate.

Step 7: Customize Component Style and Themes

Click on each component and tweak their properties. Glide lets you change fonts, colors, and layout styles. Pick a design theme that really shows off your personal brand.

Step 8: Add Functionality

Give your portfolio some extra oomph with added functionality. Use Glide's action features to create buttons that can open links, call phone numbers, or send emails.

Step 9: Preview and Test

Use the preview feature to see how your portfolio looks and works. Test all the functionalities to make sure everything’s running smoothly.

Step 10: Publish Your Portfolio

Once you’re happy with your portfolio, click the “Publish” button. Glide will give you a URL to share with others. You can also buy a custom domain if you want a more professional look.

Step 11: Update and Maintain

Use the Glide dashboard to keep your portfolio up to date. Whenever you change data in your Google Sheet or Glide Table, sync the changes to keep everything current.
