Comparison
about.me Alternative: More Than a Bio Page
about.me is deliberately a single bio page. profilo is the modular alternative: a profile page with résumé, projects and a digital business card.
about.me made the personal splash page popular: a photo, a few lines, a few links. Nicely minimal, and deliberately built around a single bio card. But if you want to show more than that one card, you hit the limits quickly.
profilo is the modular alternative: a profile page that grows with you and gets new features regularly.
Where profilo offers more than about.me
- Modules instead of one static card. About, résumé, projects, gallery, services, contact, freely combined and arranged.
- Multiple sections/tabs. Separate Home, résumé and projects, instead of cramming everything onto one card.
- Custom design. Colors, styles and corners that fit you.
- Digital business card. A QR code and an Apple/Google Wallet card included.
- Actively developed. New modules and features ship regularly, see the roadmap.

When a bio page isn't enough anymore
A single bio card is a good start, but it gets cramped fast:
- You want to show work, not just say what you do. That needs a gallery or a project list.
- Your background belongs there. A real résumé section looks more credible than three lines of bio.
- You want structure. Multiple tabs separate topics cleanly, instead of stacking everything in one column.
- You want room to grow. With modules and tabs you can expand your page anytime.
That's exactly where profilo comes in, without being any harder than about.me.
