What does every developer template include?
- ✓Projects with GitHub and live demo links, front and centre
- ✓A clear, scannable tech stack section
- ✓Space for experience, internships and open-source work
- ✓A fast, clean layout that reads well on desktop and mobile
- ✓Instant publishing — no Git, build or deploy step
- ✓AI-drafted project write-ups and bio from your résumé
Tips to make your developer portfolio stand out
The template gives you a strong starting point; these habits make it land with recruiters and hiring managers:
- ✓Lead with your two or three strongest projects — depth beats a long list of half-finished repos
- ✓For each project, write one line on the interesting technical decision, not just the tech used
- ✓Always link both the live demo and the GitHub repo so reviewers can choose how to dig in
- ✓Pin your portfolio link on your GitHub profile and in your résumé header
- ✓Keep the stack honest and focused — list what you can actually discuss in an interview
- ✓Make sure it loads fast and reads well on mobile; recruiters often open links on a phone
None of this requires more code — it is about framing. A focused, well-explained set of projects on a clean template reads as more senior than a sprawling site, and it is exactly what gets you the call.

What is the best software engineer portfolio template?
It depends on the impression you want. The terminal/IDE template signals 'developer' immediately; the bento grid is clean and modern; the CS layout is straightforward and projects-first. All include GitHub links, a stack section and project space, and all are free for students. You can switch between them anytime.
Do these templates support GitHub and live project links?
Yes. Every developer template is built around projects with both GitHub and live demo links, plus a clear stack section. That is the core of a strong developer portfolio, so it is front and centre in each layout.
Can I customise the developer templates?
Yes, fully and no-code. Change colours, sections, projects and text; AI drafts your project write-ups and bio from your résumé. The template handles the design so you focus on your projects.
Do I need to deploy or host anything?
No. Unlike hand-coding and deploying a site, these templates publish instantly — no Git, build or CI. You pick a template, link your projects, and go live in minutes.
Are they free?
Yes. Software engineering and CS students publish on SitesPlaced for free, premium developer templates included, with no card.
