case study
the site that gets you hired
services, portfolio, client intake, blog — a freelancer site that turns visitors into paying clients
you sell your time. your site should sell it for you.
you're a freelance translator, copywriter, designer, consultant, coach, developer — whatever it is, you're good at it. but your online presence is a LinkedIn profile that reads like a resume and an Instagram that mixes personal photos with client work. when someone asks "do you have a website?", you send three different links and hope they figure it out.
you don't need a web agency. you need one URL that says what you do, shows your work, and lets people hire you — without a monthly fee that eats into the margins you're already protecting.
your freelancer site on bb.bi
a handle, a few subpages, and three plugins working together — that's your entire client acquisition funnel:
sora.bb.bi → who you are, what you do sora.bb.bi/services → what you offer, how you work sora.bb.bi/work → portfolio — past projects, case studies sora.bb.bi/work/acme-rebrand → project detail page sora.bb.bi/blog → articles that build authority sora.bb.bi/hire → client intake form
visitors land on your page, read your services, browse your work, and submit an inquiry — all without leaving your domain. no Calendly embed, no Typeform redirect, no "DM me."
what you need
plan
pro — $9.99/yr
plugins
contact form, posts, media library
subpages
up to 10 on pro
subdomain
yourname.bb.bi (pro)
all three plugins are included on every plan. the pro plan adds subpages and a subdomain — the two things that turn a single page into a proper site. $9.99/year, cheaper than one hour of your time.
building the funnel
1. the landing page — your pitch
this is the page that answers "who is this person and why should I hire them?" in five seconds. describe it to the AI:
"freelance Japanese-English translator based in Tokyo. clean, professional, warm. my name 'Sora Tanaka' and a one-liner: 'I translate for startups that want to sound local.' three specialties: marketing copy, product UI, legal documents. a short testimonial from a past client. then clear links to my services page, portfolio, and a 'hire me' button. no stock photos, no emoji — just confident typography."
this page replaces the LinkedIn summary nobody reads. one URL, one purpose: make people want to know more.
2. the services page — what you offer
create /services as a subpage. describe your offerings, pricing structure, and how you work:
"services page for a freelance translator. three tiers: quick turnaround (marketing copy, social), standard (websites, apps, product UI), and specialized (legal, patents, regulatory). for each: what's included, typical turnaround, starting price. section on how I work: brief → quote → translate → review. end with a CTA linking to the hire page."
transparency wins clients. listing your process and price range filters out bad-fit leads before they ever contact you.
3. the portfolio — proof that you deliver
enable the posts plugin. each past project becomes a post — the client, the challenge, the work, the result. the AI generates a portfolio page that lists your projects:
sora.bb.bi/work → all projects sora.bb.bi/work/acme-rebrand → case study: Acme site localization sora.bb.bi/work/fintech-app → case study: fintech app UI strings sora.bb.bi/work/cat/marketing → marketing projects only
use categories to organize by type (marketing, product, legal) and tags for industries (tech, fashion, F&B). visitors filter to the work that's relevant to them.
for project screenshots and deliverables, enable the media library plugin. upload images and reference them in your posts — clean short URLs like sora.bb.bi/m/acme/before and sora.bb.bi/m/acme/after.
4. the intake form — let them hire you
enable the contact form plugin and create /hire as a subpage. configure the fields for a proper client intake:
fields: - name (required) - email (required) - company - project type (dropdown: marketing, product, legal, other) - budget range (dropdown: <$500, $500–2k, $2k–5k, $5k+) - timeline - project description (textarea) - how did you find me?
the AI wires up the form automatically when generating the page. every submission lands in your dashboard — no email forwarding to configure, no third-party form service.
a structured intake form does two things: it saves you from "how much do you charge?" emails, and it makes you look more professional than "email me at…"
5. the blog — building authority
the posts plugin does double duty. in addition to your portfolio, write articles — industry tips, translation pitfalls, behind-the-scenes on a project. each post builds credibility and SEO:
sora.bb.bi/blog → articles sora.bb.bi/blog/5-things-before-localizing → article sora.bb.bi/blog/tag/tips → tagged posts
you don't need to post weekly. one thoughtful article a month is enough. when a potential client searches "how to localize an app for Japan" and finds your post — that's the best lead gen there is.
making it all feel cohesive
a freelancer site with six pages that all look different is worse than having one page. use bb.bi's style reference feature: generate your landing page first, then point every other page at it. the AI matches the typography, color palette, spacing, and overall feel.
mention your navigation in every prompt — same nav bar: home, services, work, blog, hire me — and the result is a multi-page site that feels like one designer built it, because in a sense, one did.
why freelancers choose bb.bi
it's a funnel, not a brochure
most portfolio sites are dead ends. bb.bi connects the flow: visitor reads your services → browses your work → submits an intake form. every page leads to the next action.
no recurring cost that matters
$9.99/year. Squarespace charges $16/month — that's $192/year for a website you'll update twice. bb.bi costs 5% of that and does everything a freelancer actually needs.
adding a new project takes 5 minutes
finish a project. open the dashboard. write the case study. upload screenshots to the media library. publish. your portfolio is always current — no waiting for a developer to update a template.
one URL everywhere
sora.bb.bi on your business cards, email signature, LinkedIn headline, invoice footer, Upwork profile. one link that covers everything you need a client to see.
you own the presentation
no template that looks like everyone else's. no "powered by" badge. the AI generates pages from your description — a translator's site will look completely different from a UX consultant's because they described completely different things.
this works for any freelancer

example: a freelance translator
Sora is a Japanese-English translator working with tech startups. she claims sora as her handle and upgrades to pro.
she builds her landing page with the AI — clean, bilingual, no unnecessary decoration. then creates subpages using the landing page as a style reference:
- /services — three tiers with scope, turnaround, and starting prices
- /work — portfolio of past projects using the posts plugin
- /work/acme-rebrand — detailed case study with before/after screenshots
- /blog — articles on localization tips and industry insights
- /hire — client intake form with project type, budget, and timeline
she puts sora.bb.bi in her LinkedIn headline, email signature, and Upwork profile. when a startup CTO clicks through, they see her specialties, browse her case studies, read a blog post about localizing for the Japanese market, and submit an intake form — all in one sitting.
every new project, she writes a case study and publishes it. her portfolio grows without touching any code. every new article improves her search ranking. the site works for her while she works for her clients.
