Portfolio / Writing Samples.
One clear website.
A freelance writer portfolio is one site where your clips, beats, rates and contact details sit under your own name, and Grigora generates it from a plain description of the work you take. Say who you write for and what you cover, and the AI produces a first draft with layout, copy and images, which you then change by describing edits in the AI Editor.

Freelance Writers website builder FAQs.
Clear answers about creating a freelance writers website, its content and the tools you can use.
Does Grigora provide analytics to track my writer website's performance?
Yes, Grigora offers a built-in privacy-friendly analytics dashboard, giving you insights into traffic, engagement, and form submissions. You can also integrate Google Analytics for more detailed reporting. These tools help you understand which portfolio pieces are most popular, how clients find your site, and optimize your online presence to attract more writing opportunities.
Can I organize my writing samples by publication, niche, or client instead of one long list?
Yes. Set up a "Clips" or "Portfolio" directory in the CMS with typed fields - a link field for the published piece, an image field for a screenshot, rich text for a pull quote, and an option field for niche or content type (B2B, health, travel, etc.) - so visitors can browse by category instead of scrolling one feed.
Can I sell templates, style guides, or swipe files without building a separate store?
Yes, through Grigora Commerce. Digital downloads are delivered by email, and you can price them as one-time purchases or pay-what-you-want, listed right alongside your portfolio and blog on the same site.
Can I sell an ongoing content package, like four blog posts a month, as a product?
Partly. Grigora Commerce sells one-time purchases only, so there are no subscriptions or recurring billing. A retainer-style offer like "4 blog posts a month" can be sold as a one-time product for a single month, and repeat months are invoiced outside the site.
Can I build a client or reader email list separate from my day-to-day inbox?
Yes. The Newsletters and Email Builder lets you write, design, and send to a subscriber list from the same platform, while Grigora Mail (from $5/month) handles day-to-day correspondence on a custom-domain address, with up to 10 aliases for things like pitches@ or hello@.
Can I publish new clips or blog posts through an AI tool instead of logging in to update the site manually?
Yes. Grigora includes an MCP server, so an AI agent like Claude can create and publish posts, directory entries, and pages on your live site directly - useful if you already draft in an AI tool and want to push finished pieces without a manual copy-paste step.
How do I show writing samples online when my clips live on other publications' sites?
Create an entry per clip with fields for outlet, date, topic and an outbound link, and add a short note on what the piece did. Pull one representative paragraph in as a quote so the page has substance on its own, and group entries so an editor sees your strongest beat first.
How do I add a newsletter to my writing website?
Newsletter tools are built in, so you place a signup form on the homepage and on every post, collect subscribers into lists and write issues in the same editor as your site. Content lockers let you put a sample chapter or swipe file behind a signup if you want the list to grow faster.
What should a freelance writer look for in a website builder?
A real blog with posts grouped by topic, somewhere to sort clips by publication, an email list you own, and the ability to sell a guide without a second platform. Grigora covers those, plus SSL hosting, a custom domain, SEO suggestions and sitemaps, and while there is no importer for sites made with the AI builder, it can draft a new version of your current blog from its address for you to check.
How much does a freelance writer website cost?
Starter is $15 a month, or $144 a year, which works out to $12 a month, Pro is $25 a month, and there is a free trial instead of a free forever plan. Grigora Mail is $5 a month per mailbox if you want name@yourdomain. Selling anything runs through your own Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, or Paddle account.
