Project Dashboard > Project Description.

Hello! Everyone, hope you're doing well.

My name is Hamza, I'm a graphic designer.

My question is; Can I use my PORTFOLIO LINK in the project/gig description?

I use Dribbble and Behance portfolio.

Thank You.

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Maria and Hamza,

 

I'm sorry about that. I'd like to clarify that links to external portfolios are allowed in Project Catalog as well, the user can share them for the purpose of showcasing their skills and past work.

Hi Hamza,

 

If you're referring to adding a link to your portfolio on another website, please refrain from doing so. 

 

Here are some best practices to create a professional project:

 

  • Highlight your project in simple, jargon-free language.

  • Choose professional images that speak to your work. (Don’t have great images of your work? Check out websites like www.unsplash.com that offer free, high-quality images you can use. Be sure to make sure you have permission to use.) 

  • Proofread your work so there are no typos.

  • Don’t use click bait, text-heavy graphics, or the Upwork logo/badge.

  • Don’t share your contact information or personal information.

Joanne Marie, I opened a thread regarding links in profiles and in it Valeria made it clear that we can share a link to our external portfolio in the profile.
What you mean is that this rule is different for Project Catalog?
Because if so, it's a bit silly since our profile is visible from PC, right?

I would appreciate if you confirm this point.
