It’s 2024, and personal websites are still too much work.
Picking a platform, choosing templates, learning page-builders, making hundreds of decorative decisions. If and when you do manage to get something up, then you have to figure out how to market the thing.
It’s a lot.
Most people don’t bother. Or they try for a bit, and give up. Or they spend a lot of time and effort building something that they’re not particularly motivated to share.
If you’re a digital creative (developer, designer, writer, marketer, project manager, etc.) and you’re looking for work, throwing résumés and cover letters at job openings isn’t going to cut it anymore.
You need that personal web presence to show the world what you can do, what you’ve done, what your rates are, and how to contact you.
But here’s the good news: that’s actually all you need to show.
Contrary to popular belief (or what Squarespace/Wix ads will have you believe), you don’t need to put on a web design clinic to get paid work. Your site doesn’t need to be ‘beautiful’ nor ‘jaw-dropping.’
You just need to get in front of people who need your expertise, and quickly convince them that reaching out to you is going to help their business.
That’s where Yoursellf comes in. Yoursellf is a web presence platform for digital creatives.
It’s two products in one: a refreshingly-minimal website that absolves you of web design hassles and just lets you write and publish, and a directory that lists your site where employers can find you.
No templates. No page-building. No futzing with design settings. Just a clean, straightforward, responsive web presence that’s as easy to edit as a text document.
Your site is launched and listed the second you sign up, so you can get right down to business: showing your stuff, setting your rates, and sharing your link with the world.
