itsfolio vs DIY (Next.js / GitHub).
The Verdict
Code your own if the portfolio itself is the primary project you want to showcase. Use itsfolio if you want to showcase your *other* projects and don't want to spend weekends updating CSS.
Why choose itsfolio over DIY (Next.js / GitHub)?
Avoid the dependency treadmill.
We all have that Next.js portfolio we built 3 years ago that is now stuck on an old React version, with broken dependencies and a convoluted deployment pipeline. itsfolio removes the technical debt entirely.
Updating should be easy.
When you get a new job or launch a side project, you should be able to add it to your portfolio from your phone in 10 seconds. DIY portfolios require you to open a code editor and commit changes just to fix a typo.
Common questions about switching
Is the code quality good?
Yes. itsfolio themes are built with the exact same modern stack you would use (Next.js App Router, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion), ensuring perfect Lighthouse scores.
