An online portfolio that's truly yours.
Easel is a no-code portfolio site creator for artists of all practices. It's customizable, accessible, and free forever.
No credit card, no code, and your site stays yours. Live in ten minutes.
Built for showing your work
- 01
Drag your work in
Upload right in the editor, give each piece a title, and you're done. No spreadsheets, no fuss.
- 02
Hosting you own, free
Publish to GitHub Pages or Netlify — whichever you pick, the site lives on an account you own and control. Easel handles setup once, and after that it's all yours.
- 03
Made to be seen
A clean, gallery-first layout that loads fast and looks great on a phone or a wide screen.
- 04
No code, ever
You'll never touch git, builds, or config files. Publishing feels as easy as any notes app you already use.
A few looks to start from
These are just samples. Yours will have your own work and name on it.
Ready when you are
No code, no cost, no catch. Your portfolio can be live in under ten minutes. Already have GitHub and Netlify? Even better, just sign in.
You should know…
What does Easel cost?
Setting up and hosting an Easel site is completely free. A custom domain will run about $11 a year, if you don't already have one.
How can I trust Easel to be free forever?
Once you've set up your instance, Easel has no control over your site. Even if we started charging a subscription fee tomorrow, we wouldn't be able to touch your site.
What accounts do I need?
A free GitHub account is all you need: GitHub stores your site's files, and you can publish it straight to GitHub Pages from there. Prefer Netlify? You can connect a free Netlify account instead — Easel sets up whichever you choose.
What prior coding knowledge do I need?
None! Easel uses a simple editor, and you'll never touch the code behind your site if you don't want to. If you have some experience, we support custom HTML, CSS, and JS for making tweaks you want.
Can I use a custom domain?
Absolutely! Custom domains are free on both GitHub Pages and Netlify.
What kind of work can I show?
Anything visual! Easel is built around image galleries, so it's a great fit for illustrators, photographers, painters, designers, and more.
Can I change how my site looks?
Yes! You can adjust colors, fonts, and layout right from the editor, no code required.
Who owns my site and content?
You do, fully. Your site lives on your own GitHub account (and Netlify, if you chose it), so it stays online whether or not you keep using Easel.
