See our site as a scroll film →DappaSol is a senior-led studio offering a done-for-you portfolio website design service. You send the work, we build the site: designed around your projects, live under your domain, and 100% yours. A premium one-pager ships in a day for $399. The film-grade cinematic version starts at $3,000.
A template portfolio blends in.
You've seen the premium portfolios with the smooth scroll-driven animation and thought: I want that, but I can't code it. So the work sits in a builder template that looks like everyone else's, or worse, in a PDF. Here's what that costs you:
The portfolio is the first project a client judges you on. make it your best one
The Done-For-You
Portfolio.
You send your best projects, a short bio and any links. A senior designer-engineer builds the site around your work: real typography, real hierarchy, one obvious way to hire you. You review it on a live link, we polish, it ships under your domain. You never touch a page builder.
Three ways in, all fixed-price:
Not sure which? Start with the $399 build; if you later want the cinematic layer, the copy and structure carry over. Want the full picture of what film-grade costs across the market? Read our cinematic website cost breakdown.

Before you ask.
Can I hire someone to make my portfolio website?
Yes, and you probably should. Your job is the work inside the portfolio, not fighting a template at 1am. You send us your projects, bio and links, we design and build the site, you review it on a live link, and it ships under your own domain. The starter version is $399 and goes live in a day.
How much does it cost to pay someone to make a portfolio website?
The market splits three ways. Builder platforms run around $200 a year but you do all the work yourself. Assigned-designer services on those platforms start around $300 and stay inside the template system. Freelancers typically charge $500 to $2,000 for a custom build. Ours is $399 live in a day, $699 with a hiring pipeline, and film-grade cinematic builds start at $3,000 fixed.
How fast can you build my portfolio website?
The $399 Overnight Portfolio goes live in a day once we have your content. Cinematic builds take a few weeks because the scroll choreography and performance tuning are real work. Either way you watch it come together on a live link, not in a big reveal at the end.
Do I own the portfolio website?
All of it. Code, design files, domain, hosting accounts, in your name from day one. No rented platform, no monthly hostage situation. If we part ways tomorrow, your site keeps running and you keep everything.
Portfolio website builder or hiring someone: which is better?
A builder is fine if you enjoy the tinkering and your taste survives a template. Hiring someone wins when the portfolio has a job to do: winning clients, landing a role, justifying your rates. The honest math: a builder costs around $200 a year plus every evening you spend in it, and it still looks like a template. $399 once buys a site someone senior designed around your work.
Can you make my portfolio cinematic, like the scroll-film examples?
Yes, that is our favorite kind. Scroll-driven storytelling, WebGL where it earns its place, motion graded like a short film, performance-tuned so it stays smooth on a phone. Those builds start at $3,000 fixed. Browse 10 cinematic website examples to see the bar, or scroll our own site as a film to judge the craft first.
Will my portfolio website show up on Google?
Yes. Every build ships with real HTML content, proper meta tags, schema markup and a sitemap, so Google and AI search engines can read it. If you want your name to rank for what you do, we set the on-page foundations as part of the build, not as an upsell.
What should a portfolio website include?
Five things do the hiring: proof (3 to 6 best projects with outcomes, not thumbnails), a one-line positioning statement a stranger understands, a short human about section, social proof if you have it, and one obvious way to contact you. Everything else is decoration. We structure every portfolio around those five.
