A personal website works best kept simple: a short bio, what you're currently doing, and links to your work or social profiles, all on your own domain instead of a platform you don't control. We.inc's free plan gets a personal page live at no cost, and describing yourself to the AI for a fully written site starts on Starter at $20 a month.
A personal website for your work, your writing, or just you. We.inc's AI builds it from a short description, free to start, AI editing from $20 a month.
A personal website for a software engineer named Alicia Ford who works in backend development and writes occasionally about databases, with a clean and minimal tone, a short about section, a list of side projects with links, and a simple blog.
Unless the site's purpose is to showcase design skill itself, a clean single page with a bio, a few links, and maybe a blog does the job better than an elaborate multi-section layout most visitors won't fully explore.
A personal site is one of the few things worth owning outright rather than renting space on a platform. A domain with your name means the link never changes even if you switch tools later.
An abandoned blog with one post from years ago reads worse than no blog at all. If you're not sure you'll write regularly, it's fine to leave it off and add it later.
For published articles, talks, or work hosted elsewhere, link to the original rather than copying it onto your site, which keeps your personal site as a hub rather than a second copy of everything.
A personal domain with your name costs about $10 to $20 a year and is worth getting even for a very simple site. The free plan covers most personal sites entirely; Starter at $20 a month is only worth it if you want the AI actively writing content or restructuring pages for you.
The free plan lets you build up to 3 sites from templates and publish them free on a we.inc address. It has no AI. Building and editing with AI starts on Starter at $20 a month with 250 credits.
Publishing a simple personal site from a template is free on we.inc's free plan (up to three sites, no AI). If you want the AI to write your bio and pages from a short description, that starts at $20 a month on Starter.
It's not required, a we.inc address works fine to start, but a domain with your own name costs about $10 to $20 a year and means the link stays yours no matter what tool you use to build the site.
Only if you expect to write at least occasionally. An empty or long-abandoned blog section tends to look worse than simply not having one.
A short bio and a way to contact you or find your other profiles covers the basics. Everything else, projects, writing, a blog, can be added as it becomes relevant.
Yes, most personal sites include a short list of links to email, LinkedIn, GitHub, or other profiles, which is a common and effective way to consolidate your online presence in one place.
