Picking the right one

How to choose a model or actor template

A portfolio template should get out of the way and let your headshots and reel carry the booking. Start there, then work through three practical questions.

Full-bleed grid or single column?

Pick a full-bleed grid to show range across looks, or a minimal single-column layout when you want each shot to hold the screen. Every template is image-first, so choose the rhythm your work needs.
Where does your reel go?

If you act or self-tape, plan for an inline showreel. Embed from YouTube or Vimeo, or host it on Pixpa, so it plays on the page instead of another tab.
How will an agency see it?

Your site sits on your own domain, so a casting director gets a real URL, not a link tree, and everything loads on the phone they are actually holding.

FAQs

Model and actor portfolio website FAQs

Everything else you might want to know before you start. Still curious? Live chat is open 24/7.

What should a model portfolio website include?

Lead with current headshots and digitals at full width, then a stats or comp-card section (height, measurements, agency), an inline showreel or reel where it applies, and clear contact or booking details. Keep it to one link on your own domain so an agency or casting director can view everything in one place on a phone.

What is the best model portfolio template?

The best template is the one that puts your images first and stays out of the way. For model and actor work that usually means a full-bleed grid or a minimal single-column layout with large images and fast loading. All 16 Pixpa model and actor templates are customizable, so you can change fonts, colors, layout and spacing without touching code.

Can I build an actor portfolio website with Pixpa?

Yes. The same templates work for actor sites: headshots, a resume or credits section, and an embedded showreel or self-tape. You get your own domain, so casting directors see a professional URL rather than a link tree.

Can I add my showreel or demo reel to the site?

Yes. You can embed video from YouTube or Vimeo, or upload and host it on Pixpa, so your reel plays inline on the page rather than sending viewers off to another tab.

Is there a free model portfolio website option?

Pixpa does not have a free-forever plan, but you can build and preview your full portfolio on a 15-day free trial with no card required, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. Paid plans start at $5.40 per month billed annually.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. You can connect a custom domain on any paid plan, and a free domain is included for the first year on annual plans. Your name on your own URL reads more professionally to agencies than a shared subdomain.

Do I need any coding or design skills?

No. Every template is edited with drag-and-drop, so you can swap images, reorder sections and update your stats without code. If you do write CSS or HTML, Pixpa lets you add custom code for finer control.

Will my portfolio work on mobile for agencies and casting directors?

Yes. Every template is responsive and loads on any phone, tablet or desktop, which matters because most agency and casting reviews happen on a phone between other jobs.
