Getting started

Getting started

From sign-up to a finished, published profile page in just a few minutes – your complete roadmap for getting started.

Welcome to profilo! Here you'll build a personal profile page at profilo.so/yourname in just a few minutes – a clean bento-tile page with your links, résumé, projects and everything that's part of you. This page is your starting point: it walks you through the whole journey once, from sign-up to going live. Each step links to a detailed article in case you want to dig deeper.

1. Create an account

  1. On the landing page, click Try it free (in the top navigation, the hero, or the pricing section).
  2. Enter your name. As you type, a live preview shows your future address profilo.so/yourname – you can change this later.
  3. Add your email and a password (at least 6 characters; the eye icon reveals the password, the strength meter ranges from Weak to Strong) and repeat it under Repeat password.
  4. Tick the box I accept the Terms and the Privacy Policy.
  5. Click Create account.

Sign-up works with email and password – there's no login via Google or other services.

After that you'll see a Almost there! message: we send you a confirmation email. Open it and click the link to activate your account – then you'll land straight in your dashboard.

Note: No email in your inbox? Check your spam folder or click Resend confirmation email.

2. Arrive in the dashboard

Once confirmed, you'll land on the Overview – your control center. Here you see at a glance:

  • the Status card (e.g. Draft, Live or Offline), which tells you whether your page is publicly reachable,
  • the share center with your link profilo.so/yourname to copy and view,
  • the quick actions with the big Edit profile button.

On your very first visit, a short tour starts automatically and explains these areas. Click through it with Next or skip it – whatever you prefer.

3. Fill your profile

Your page starts completely empty – there are three ways to fill it. Just pick the one that suits you best:

  • Fastest: Upload your résumé as a PDF, and the AI automatically builds matching modules from it (experience, education, skills and more). Learn more under CV import.
  • With a template: In the editor, click Templates and pick a ready-made layout – the tiles are already sensibly arranged, you just fill in your content. See Templates.
  • From scratch: Add individual modules via Add and arrange them by drag & drop. All the details in Building your profile.

Tip: These paths aren't mutually exclusive. Many people start with the CV import or a template and then add individual modules by hand.

4. Customize the design

Use Design to make the page yours: light or dark, accent color, style (e.g. Glass) and corner rounding. That's how the look becomes you and your brand. More under Design & themes.

5. Publish

One click on Publish makes your page public at profilo.so/yourname. Beforehand you can use Preview to see it exactly as visitors will, and Save to keep your draft without going live. Everything about it under Publishing & going live.

Tip: Nothing is public until you click Publish. So you can experiment in peace – only that deliberate click makes your page live.

That's it – welcome aboard. If you get stuck, the FAQ will surely help.
