### Your first sentence

The first sentence of your bio appears under your name at the top of your portfolio. Make it a clear summary of what you do, as it’s often the first thing a client reads.

### Formatting and templates

- Markdown and embeds work in your bio. Use the **Preview** tab to check how it looks, and the **Formatting guide** link for help.
- Stuck on where to start? Pick a template under **Start from a template** (Designer, Developer, Writer, Music and audio, Filmmaker or General), then replace the prompts with your own words.

### What else is in this window

- **Next availability:** if you’re available now, use today’s date.
- **Country** and **City:** used for location-based job notifications.
- **Standard day rate:** kept private. We use it to match you to clients.
