We’ve teamed up with our friends at Format to celebrate a major update to their platform—flex block, a brand new way to build your dream site with total creative control and zero hassle.
To mark the launch, we’re giving away FOUR free lifetime subscriptions to Format, plus TWO free 1-year subscriptions! Whether you’ve been meaning to build a site or just want to try something fresh and intuitive, this is your chance to set yourself up with a beautiful portfolio—forever.
Format has been a longtime supporter of our awards, and we’re excited to team up with them to celebrate this cool new feature—especially because it means a few people from our community will get a fresh new portfolio website of their own.
With Format’s new flex block, you can build fully custom content blocks for a one-of-a-kind portfolio website. Here’s what you can do:
- Use a snap-to-grid system to control spacing and layout
- Add and layer elements like images, text, buttons, and dividers
- Edit images directly in the block—crop, round edges, set focal point, add overlays, and more
- Set a custom background color for each block
- Design the mobile layout of your block independent from your desktop layout.
As a test, I spent a couple hours building a new website for myself from scratch (check it out). I like the collage-style layout I was able to create for this series of photos.
Flex block is just the beginning—it’s the first of many new tools rolling out starting Spring 2025. If you want to use flex block, you can check out Format’s website here or start a 14-day free trial here.
