Personal Website Templates

Picking the right one

How to choose a personal website template

35 templates built for one person presenting themselves: a designer showing a portfolio, an academic publishing a CV, a consultant who needs a credible page before a first call. Pick by how much you are showing.

Image-led layouts

Put visual work first. Best for a designer, photographer or anyone whose portfolio is the point.
Clean single-column layouts

Suit a CV or resume where the text is the point, so the design stays out of the way and the content carries it.
Mixed layouts

Carry a short bio, a project grid, and a contact block on one page, for a personal site that does a bit of everything.

Personal and CV website templates by Pixpa on a custom domain

Everything You Need

What a personal website on Pixpa includes

Drag-and-drop editor

Change text, images, colors, and section order without code. Custom CSS and HTML are there when you want them, which is rare for a builder at this price.
Your own domain

Connect yourname.com on any plan, or use a free Pixpa subdomain while you build. A custom domain reads more credibly than a shared one to anyone deciding whether to hire you.
Built-in blog

If your personal site doubles as a place to write, the blog is included, not a bolt-on.
SEO manager

Titles, meta descriptions, and clean markup per page, so your name and work are findable rather than buried.
Zero-commission online store

If you sell prints, a service, or a digital download, the store is native and takes zero commission on your sales.
Client Galleries

There if you deliver files to clients directly, with private, password-protected sharing.

What people say

Why freelancers and consultants choose Pixpa

The people who build personal sites on Pixpa are usually not designers, and the reviews say so: it is easy enough to run yourself, the price is low, and support answers when you get stuck. People move here from Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress for the same three reasons over and over: lower cost, easier editing, and support that actually replies.

“For a non-designer, setting up my kids personal website was pretty easy. And when I needed help, customer service was amazing.”

“Website creation was much easier than this non-techie person could have imagined.”

FAQs

Personal website template FAQs

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

What are the best personal website templates?

The best personal website template is the one that fits what you are presenting. Pixpa has 35 personal and CV templates covering clean single-column CV layouts, image-led personal portfolios, and grid layouts for mixed work. Every template is mobile-responsive, customizable without code, and extendable with custom CSS and HTML. You can try any of them free for 15 days with no credit card.

Are there free personal website templates?

Pixpa is not free, but every personal website template is included in the 15-day free trial with no credit card required. Paid plans start at 5.40 US dollars a month on annual billing, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee after you subscribe, so you can build the full site before committing.

What is the difference between a resume website and a CV website?

In practice they are the same thing online: one page that presents who you are, your experience, and how to reach you. Resume is the common word in the US, CV in the UK and academia. A CV site tends to run longer for academic or research roles. Pixpa templates handle both, and you can add a downloadable PDF of your document alongside the live page.

Can I use a personal website template for a resume or CV?

Yes. Every personal template can be set up as a live resume or CV: a header with your name and role, sections for experience, skills, and projects, and a contact block. You can host a downloadable PDF version and share one link instead of attaching a file to every application.

Do I need to know how to code to build a personal website on Pixpa?

No. Every template is edited with drag-and-drop, so you can change text, images, colors, and layout without touching code. If you do write CSS or HTML, Pixpa lets you add custom code to take a template further than the visual editor alone.

Are Pixpa personal website templates mobile-friendly?

Yes. Every template is responsive and adjusts to phones, tablets, and desktops automatically. Most people who open a personal or CV link do so on a phone, so the mobile view is built in rather than added on.

Can I connect my own domain to a personal website?

Yes. You can connect a custom domain such as yourname.com to any Pixpa plan, or use a free Pixpa subdomain while you build. A custom domain on a personal or CV site reads more credibly to a hiring manager or client than a shared subdomain.

Can teachers, students, and freelancers use these templates?

Yes. The same personal templates work for a teacher portfolio, a student showcase, a freelancer landing page, or a consultant's one-page site. Pick a layout that matches how much work you are showing: image-led for visual portfolios, text-led for a CV or teaching record.
