Getting Started
A beginner-friendly checklist to build a credible profile and showcase your work.
This guide is designed to help you build a professional presence that works for you—whether you want to be hired, discovered, or verified.
How Archade Works
It’s simple: You create a Profile, add your Projects, connect the people and companies involved, and keep it active with updates.
Your First 30 Minutes
1. Create Your Account
- Sign up here to get started.
- Already have an account? Log in.
2. Complete Onboarding
Follow the onboarding steps to set up your basic preferences.
3. Build Your Profile
Go to your Profile Dashboard and add:
- Headline: What you do and who you do it for.
- Location: Your city and country.
- Skills: The software and disciplines you specialize in.
- Experience & Education: Your professional history.
4. Add at Least 2 Projects
Projects are the most important part of your profile. Add a project here.
For a strong project page, aim for:
- 6–12 high-quality images.
- A clear description (3–6 sentences).
- Location and completion year.
- Credits: Tag the team members and companies involved.
Why 2 projects? A single project is a start, but two projects establish a pattern and give visitors a better understanding of your capabilities.
