Comparison
Seen orNotion?
Notion is a great doc editor. But a freelance site is not a doc. Here's when publishing on Notion is enough, and when to switch to a tool built for the job.
Who it's for
Doc-firstor site-first?
Stay on Notion if:
- Your whole workflow already lives in Notion and you just want to publish what you've written.
- You're comfortable writing custom CSS (or paying Super.so / Potion) to make the page look good.
- You want multi-page hierarchy with sub-pages, databases, native Notion embeds.
- Your audience is tech (PMs, indie hackers, builders) and recognizes the Notion look as a positive signal.
Pick Seen if:
- You want a site that looks like a real freelance site, without touching CSS.
- You're starting from a CV or LinkedIn and want everything pre-filled, not retyped into Notion blocks.
- You want a shareable digital CV, a logo, and a pro domain included, not assembled from parts.
- Your prospects are SMBs or individuals who won't read the Notion look as a pro signal.
