Introducing Sites by Read.cv
Today we’re excited to introduce Sites by Read.cv! A new way to publish a personal website using your Read.cv profile — think of it like a modern version of theming your Tumblr back in the day. As part of this launch we’re introducing two new products:
- Templates marketplace, a space to share, discover, and use site templates made by the community.
- Sites OS, a workspace for editing and creating sites.
Why make a site?
In addition to the community, resources, and visibility that Read.cv offers, a personal website gives designers a way to tailor their website to their work, build a personal identity, and stand out in a crowded job market.
Creating a site with Read.cv eliminates the need to manage one-off content changes to clunky and expensive website builders, and makes updating your website as easy as updating your Read.cv profile.
Templates Marketplace
The templates marketplace makes it easy to find a layout that works for
you. Today we’re introducing 6 templates created by our team. They range from visual portfolio layouts to playful link-in-bio sites, and can be demo’d with your own content or installed in one click!
The templates marketplace is also now officially open to submissions from the community, allowing anyone to publish their own template for the community to use. In the near future we will allow creators to publish paid templates as well.
Sites OS
Sites OS is our workspace for managing and creating your sites. This is where you’ll go to personalize the title, description, thumbnail, and favicon of your site.
You can also take things a step further and edit the html and css of any template, or build a new site from scratch. Sites are built using React and offers access to any package on NPM—the sky’s the limit with what you can build!
Low key, we think this might be the most fun and unique way to build and deploy a website from the browser regardless of the Read.cv integration, so give it a shot!
Sites are free to create, and start at $6 a month for our Plus features such as custom domains, custom meta tags, and removing our watermark.
Sites is live and can be found in the globe icon in the sidebar of Read.cv! For questions, feedback, or help with your site please join the #sites-beta channel in our Discord server ✌️
