Put a recruiter-ready portfolio live in one afternoon, even if you'd rather build from scratch.

You're a developer. You can build anything. Except, somehow, your own portfolio.

This kit puts it live in one afternoon. You clone a finished Next.js site, feed your resume to the AI prompts we send you, and the generic placeholder becomes your story, your work, your name. Then you deploy.

It is not a blank template. It's the same foundation running careerleap.app, vinodsharma.ai, and Sucana, refined across at least 20 real projects over the last 6 to 10 months.

And sure, Claude or Lovable could scaffold you a site. They'd hand you a generic starting point, and you'd spend a week of evenings testing, fixing, and wiring up SEO by hand. This kit is what that week produces. Already done, already tested.

If you can edit a file, you can do this. And if your site isn't live after one afternoon, The One-Afternoon Guarantee kicks in. More on that below.

It's 11pm on a Tuesday. A recruiter finally replies: “Do you have a portfolio I can look at?”

You send your GitHub profile. And hope they click the pinned repos.

There's a folder on your laptop called portfolio-v3. Last commit: four months ago.

You've shipped production code for years. Real systems, real users. But your own site? A default template with your name swapped into the header. Or nothing at all.

You're the shoemaker. Your kids have no shoes.

Think about what that link is costing you.

The recruiter who never wrote back. The freelance lead who clicked, saw a bare README, and moved on. You never see the interview you didn't get or the invoice you didn't send.

And the do-it-yourself route? You know exactly how that goes, because you've started it. A week of evenings. Millions of tokens spent nudging an AI builder toward something less generic. Then days more on the invisible stuff: sitemap, JSON-LD, Open Graph, llms.txt, the things that decide whether Google and ChatGPT can even find you.

That's the real price of “I'll build it myself someday.” Someday is expensive.

I'm Vinod Sharma. I've built software for 26 years, and I spent a good chunk of those as a manager, reading resumes and clicking portfolio links. I know within seconds which ones get a second look.

My own problem was different. Every product I shipped, CareerLeap, Sucana, client sites, needed a website. And every time, I started from the same place you do: a generic template or an AI scaffold, then hours of fixing and testing to make it real.

The early versions of my own sites were bad in a very specific way. They were content heavy. Everything I'd ever built, my whole journey, all of it on the homepage. My partner, a marketing genius, finally said it straight: it's not about what you want to show. It's about what the visitor came to find. A hiring manager opening your portfolio is looking for one thing, evidence you can solve the problem in their job opening. They are not there for your greatest hits.

So the kit changed. Content heavy became conversion focused. Every page now guides the visitor toward one clear next step.

Every project broke something. I fixed it in the kit. Every client build taught me what converts. That went in too. What you're looking at is probably the tenth or fifteenth iteration.

It worked well enough that I gave it to about 20 developers. They shipped their sites, sent feedback, and that feedback is in this version. Then more people asked. So the price became zero.

Drop your email. You land on a page with the download button and step-by-step instructions, including the exact prompts to customize your site with Claude Code or Codex.

Clone the kit. Run two commands. Hand Claude Code or Codex your resume with the included prompt, and watch the placeholder site become yours. Deploy.

Free means free. The kit is MIT licensed and it's yours forever. The only thing it costs is your email address, which also gets you The Build Notes, the newsletter where the kit came from. Unsubscribe anytime, keep the kit anyway.

Hiring this out costs real money. Doing it yourself costs a week of evenings and millions of AI tokens, and you still end up doing the SEO plumbing by hand.

The kit costs $0.

Why free? Simple. The kit is the proof for everything else we build. You shipping a great site this weekend is better marketing than anything we could write.

So here's the whole deal.

You get three complete website kits: portfolio, founder, agency. The AI prompts to make them yours in minutes. A blog, and the entire SEO and AI-search layer, already built. Refined across at least 20 real projects, running live on careerleap.app, vinodsharma.ai, and Sucana. Free, backed by The One-Afternoon Guarantee.

If you can edit a file, then by tonight the answer to “do you have a portfolio?” is a link you're proud to send.

Still on someday? Someday is this afternoon.
