Best No-Code Portfolio Websites for Designers in 2025

Framer

Framer is a modern no-code portfolio website builder that lets you ship professional websites fast. It offers powerful AI features and built-in hosting for easy publishing. It’s especially strong for portfolios and landing pages, and the Figma import makes it easy to carry your visuals straight into a live website. The built-in CMS is simple enough to keep case studies and projects updated without touching code. Framer also introduced On-Page Editing, a powerful new way to update Framer websites right in the browser.

If you’re coming from Figma, the interface will feel familiar—but Framer isn’t Figma. Give yourself time to learn the basics.

If, on the other hand, you’re brand new to web design, tools like Wix or Canva might be an easier first step. They can be simpler starting points before diving into Framer's more powerful tools.

Webflow

Webflow is an excellent, highly recommended no-code tool for building a design portfolio. It’s great for showcasing projects thanks to its customization options, dynamic animations, and powerful CMS. Because of its customization, you have full control over the design, branding, and layout of your portfolio.

Webflow makes it easy to add scroll effects and other animations, which can make creative work and interactive projects more engaging. Its CMS lets you manage projects as dynamic content, making it simple to add new work and keep your portfolio updated.

While it’s powerful, Webflow has a more complex learning curve than some simpler builders, so creating a truly custom, beautiful website with advanced features will take time and effort.

Notion

Notion can be a good, user-friendly, and free no-code portfolio platform, especially if you want to showcase detailed case studies and your design process.

You don’t need coding knowledge to build a simple, customizable portfolio, and the basic version is free for personal use. Notion excels at documenting and displaying processes, making it ideal for showing the evolution and approach behind your work. You can present information in galleries or text-driven layouts, manage and update content easily, and use its writing and database tools to keep projects organized.

The trade-off is its generic look. All Notion-based websites look pretty much the same. Compared to dedicated website builders or custom sites, it can feel less distinctive and less professional. Some hiring managers may read that as a lack of investment or design control.

If your goal is to quickly showcase a detailed design process on a budget, Notion is a great choice. Just be aware that some hiring teams may prefer a more polished and unique website.

Wix

Wix is a good platform for creating a design portfolio, especially for beginners or anyone who wants a user-friendly, all-in-one solution. Its drag-and-drop editor makes it quick to design without coding, so it’s accessible for creators of all technical levels.

You get a large collection of portfolio templates to match different styles and brands, along with built-in hosting, domain connection, and e-commerce tools. Wix also offers AI features to help generate custom websites, unique images, and branded content, which can simplify the design process.

If you need total freedom and a more unique user experience, platforms like Webflow or Framer offer more advanced customization. And if your website requires very advanced features or complex functionality beyond a typical portfolio, WordPress or a custom-coded solution may be a better fit.

Canva

Canva is a great option for a no-code portfolio builder, especially if you’re already familiar with the platform and need a quick, easy way to showcase your work. Its strength is a user-friendly interface and pre-made templates for fast, accessible design, making it useful for certain roles or a temporary online presence.

The main advantage is its ease of use. Canva's intuitive drag-and-drop editor makes it simple to create a portfolio website without extensive design knowledge. You can quickly design and publish a responsive website using built-in templates and design elements. It’s also accessible for beginners: you can build, launch, and get basic insights into their website’s performance, with options to buy a custom domain.

But, there are limitations. Compared to professional software, Canva offers less depth and flexibility, which can be a drawback if you need more control. While it’s great for one-page websites, Canva websites may not suit complex, multi-page projects that need to scale over time.

If your goal is to apply for roles centered on social media content, presentations, or design within the Canva ecosystem, a Canva portfolio fits well. It’s also a good choice when you need to showcase work quickly—whether for product or UX/UI design or for personal branding.

Dribbble

Dribbble is a good platform for building a visual portfolio, gaining exposure, networking with peers, and connecting with potential clients. It's especially great for visual and graphic design.

But it’s not ideal as a sole, comprehensive portfolio for UX or UI designers who need to show the full process and problem-solving. That’s better shown on a personal website with detailed case studies. Discoverability via tags and shots is quick and effective, so Dribbble works best as a teaser platform.

If your goal is to share high-impact visuals and gain inspiration, pair it with a personal website for in-depth case studies, Dribbble is an okay choice. It’s also well-suited for snippets of ongoing projects and “work-in-progress” updates rather than a full-blown portfolio.

It's worth noting that Dribbble's popularity has been declining since it shifted from an open community showcase to a more gated, transactional marketplace. If this interests you, you can read our blog article where we go into more detail on why designers have abandoned Dribbble.

Behance

Behance is a strong no-code portfolio website thanks to its visibility and discovery. It can help you get noticed by employers and potential clients, while also connecting you with other creatives and expanding your professional network.

It is particularly ideal for graphic, UI, and motion designers. It also serves as a community for inspiration, sharing work, and receiving feedback.

Many designers use Behance alongside a personal portfolio website. If you’re using both, direct potential employers from Behance to your website for a more comprehensive, in-depth look at your work and process.

For UX and product roles, recruiters expect structured, detailed case studies—something a dedicated website can showcase more effectively than Behance.

Cross-tool comparison

Conclusion

You don’t need the “perfect” platform—you need one that fits your work and the way you like to keep it updated. 

If you want expressive control and smooth interactions, start with Framer or Webflow. If the documenting process is the priority, Notion is a budget-friendly path. For a fast, simple presence, Wix or Canva gets you live quickly. Use Dribbble and Behance to boost visibility, then point people to your website for full case studies. 

Pick one, publish, learn, and iterate.
