Public portfolio page

Quick start

1. Publish your portfolio so visitors can see live content — first go-live or Publish draft for later updates. Steps: Publish and drafts.
2. Open the live URL: from any workspace page, open the Portfolio workspace menu (three-dot) → View public page, or go to /p/[slug] on Portura. On Plus, extra pages use /p/[slug]/[pageSlug].
3. Confirm the page shows your published theme and content (not unpublished draft edits).
4. Share that public URL with employers, clients, or anyone you want to visit your work.

Deep dive

What visitors see

Your public portfolio is the themed career page at /p/[slug] (or your custom hostname when connected). Plus extra pages use /p/[slug]/[pageSlug] on Portura, or /{pageSlug} on a custom host. Portura renders each URL with your theme — colors, typography, and section layouts — as a normal web page. The public route is built for visitors and search engines: meaningful content is in the initial HTML, not only after client scripts run.

This guide is for owners sharing and checking the live URL. Help does not put ? tooltips on the visitor-facing public page.

Public page vs Preview

Use Preview while drafting. After you publish, use View public page (or open /p/[slug]) to confirm what visitors see. If Preview looks current but the public page looks old, you still have an unpublished draft — publish it (or discard it). Details: Preview and public page and Publish and drafts.

Opening and sharing the public URL

Ways to open the live page as an owner:

• Workspace menu → View public page (opens in a new tab)
• Directly visit /p/[slug] using the slug from Setup

Share the same URL you open with View public page. Prefer your Portura path (/p/[slug], or /p/[slug]/[pageSlug] for a Plus extra page) or a connected custom domain — not the signed-in Preview route.

Who can view the page

Access follows portfolio privacy at a high level:

• Public — anonymous visitors can open /p/[slug] (and your custom host).
• Private — anonymous visitors cannot view the page. Owners can still open their own /p/[slug] to inspect the live route; that is not a visitor unlock.

Portura does not offer a visitor password unlock for public URLs. Collaboration invites (/auth/portfolio-access) let another Portura user edit or preview with you — they are not a gate for anonymous visitors. See Share and collaborate.

Themes, SEO, and the FAQ

The live page uses the theme you apply in the theme editor. Visitors see published layout and styling; draft theme edits stay off the public URL until you publish.

Plus: Each extra page is its own public URL (/p/[slug]/[pageSlug]). Search engines can list those paths when the portfolio is public and not hidden from indexing. Free and Pro stay on the single Home URL.

All plans receive automatic search and social metadata. Pro and Plus can customize the portfolio title, description, sharing image, and favicon in SEO & Sharing. They can generate title and description copy with AI or ask portfolio-edit Mira to prepare those text changes for review. Plus can also override or AI-generate title and description per extra page; blank page fields inherit the portfolio defaults. Canonical URLs remain generated, and SEO images remain editor-controlled. See Privacy, SEO, and Google Analytics.

The site menu shows the same enabled section links on every page — not page titles such as Home or Work. A link to a section on another page opens /p/[slug]/[pageSlug]#section (or /{pageSlug}#section on a custom host), then scrolls to that section.

For short product facts about search listing and SEO-related options, use the FAQ — this article does not paste FAQ answers. Owner controls such as Hide from search engines are covered in Privacy and visibility.

Custom domain hostname

A connected custom domain hosts the same published portfolio as /p/[slug] — not a separate site. DNS and SSL setup: Custom domains (Pro). Nested /{pageSlug} on that host is Plus. Without Plus, https://your-domain/work redirects to the custom-domain Home.

Favorites for signed-in visitors

Signed-in visitors who are not the owner can star a public portfolio (Add to favorites) and reopen it later from Favorites. Owners do not get that control on their own public page. Details: Favorites.

Contact, Mira, and Conversations

On the live page, visitors may use your contact form and (when enabled) visitor Mira chat. Those owner how-tos ship in this category:

• Contact form for visitors
• Visitor Mira chat

Inbound contact threads land in Conversations.

Tips

• Publish first, then share /p/[slug] or your custom hostname — not Preview. On Plus, share /p/[slug]/[pageSlug] when you mean an extra page.
• After Publish draft, open View public page once to confirm the live site matches.
• Keep the slug you share stable; change it in Setup only when you intend to update shared links.
• Treat collaboration invites as editor access, not as a way to “password protect” the public page.
• For inbox messages from the contact form, use Conversations — not the public page chrome.

Troubleshooting

Visitors say the public page is unavailable

• The portfolio may still be Private. Publish (first go-live) or set privacy to Public, then share /p/[slug] again.
• Confirm you shared the public URL, not /portfolios/preview/[pid].

Preview looks right, but /p/[slug] looks outdated

• You are viewing a draft in Preview. Use Publish draft, then refresh the public page. See Publish and drafts.

I can open /p/[slug] but visitors cannot

• Owners can open a private portfolio’s public route; anonymous visitors cannot. Make the portfolio Public before sharing.
• This is not fixed with a visitor password — Portura has no password unlock for public pages.
