Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
We do not grade enough website and landing page builders yet to say where Adobe Portfolio stands among them.
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
You could make the core of Adobe Portfolio for yourself: templates and digital business card.
Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Templates and digital business card: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What this rests on. Adobe Portfolio’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
