DooID – Personal Landing Pages

Make it easy for people to find you online by creating a personal landing page with a web-app called DooID. The landing page builder and personal contact hub can be used to create stylish, customized websites in mere minutes. Even more importantly, these personal web pages can be set up completely with virtually zero design skills or HTML knowledge.

To begin building your own hub online with DooID, choose a username, enter your email address, and select a password. The username you choose is important, since it will ultimately become the URL address that people will enter to visit your personal hub online. DooID will guide you through the process of designing and building your personal website, prompting you to enter identifying information, add links to your social networking accounts, and upload your resume as a PDF. Next, it’s time to choose a style. DooID gives you plenty of preset themes to choose from. Don’t worry if none of the themes seem like a perfect fit. You’ll be give plenty of options to customize any theme you choose, making everything from the text color to the site background completely unique.

In addition to linking to your online profiles and a downloadable resume, DooID also lets you add a vCard that potential employers and business contacts can download to their mobile phones. DooID also offers custom domains, mobile capabilities, and Google Analytics for people interested in finding out more about who’s coming to their personal sites.
