FAQ
Why not just use Canva for my portfolio?
You can make a pretty static page. What you can't do: collect brand inquiries into a CRM, track which reels brands click, chase invoices, or update your page from your phone in 30 seconds.
Can I use both?
Many creators design brand assets in Canva and run their portfolio on Spotl — they solve different problems.
Is Spotl harder than Canva?
No — themes and blocks mean your page is structured and always looks right on mobile. No design skill required.
