TO KNOW WHERE YOU STAND

Recruiters skim resumes in seconds, and a founder scrolling a portfolio isn't more patient. If your best work isn't obvious immediately, it doesn't get read.

What you get · the report

Every page, read like a founder would.

Not just a score. A full walkthrough of your hero page and case studies, plus two expert audits most portfolio tools skip entirely.

Hero page screenshot with page-by-page notes
Hero page & case studies

We screenshot your homepage and every linked case study, then leave short, ranked notes on each one, most critical first.

Case study screenshot used for heuristic and accessibility evaluation
Heuristic & WCAG evaluation

A pass or fail check against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics, plus a basic accessibility audit, contrast, alt text, structure, keyboard use.

Sahil's portfolio, graded 72/100

Somewhere this week, a founder scrolled past a portfolio in under ten seconds. Was it yours?

This is my own portfolio, run through the same check. A hero case study without real numbers, a wall of equally weighted projects, a missing next step, these are the small things that quietly decide whether someone reads on or closes the tab. Sixty seconds tells you which one yours is.
