Can I use a video background as my showreel?

Yes. Upload a short clip of your best work as a video background. It plays automatically when visitors land on your page, creating an immediate impact.

How do I organize a large portfolio on one page?

Use header blocks to create categories (commercial, documentary, music videos) and list your best 2-3 pieces per category. Link to a full portfolio for each.

Is this better than a traditional portfolio website?

A bio link portfolio is faster to set up and easier to share on social media. Many creators use it alongside a full website — the bio link drives traffic to the deeper portfolio.
