Expertise, Showcase & Brands Blocks
Three blocks for building credibility: Expertise (skills), Showcase (portfolio), and Brands (client logos).
Expertise block
The Expertise block displays your skills or specialties as a collection of tags (badges) -- a quick, visual way to communicate what you bring to the table without lengthy text.
How it works
Find it in the Content category. Each tag has a single field:
- Label -- The skill or specialty name (e.g., "UI/UX Design," "React," "Brand Strategy," "Photography").
Add tags with the add button. Remove with the delete button. Reorder by dragging grip handles.

Use cases
- Freelancer skills -- Tools and methodologies: "Figma," "TypeScript," "Agile," "SEO."
- Consultant specialties -- Areas of expertise: "Business Strategy," "Market Research," "Financial Planning."
- Creator niches -- Topics you cover: "Tech Reviews," "Travel Vlogs," "Fitness Tips."
- Languages -- Programming languages, spoken languages, or other qualifications.
Appearance styles
Five visual styles: Soft, Editorial, Glass, List, and Boutique. A Show Icon toggle lets you show or hide icons next to each tag.
This block includes the standard heading options.
Showcase block
The Showcase block is a portfolio display for presenting projects with images, titles, links, and category-based filtering. It's the most visually rich block in Leenkies -- designed for creatives, designers, photographers, developers, and anyone who wants to display their work.
How it works
Find it in the Content category. Settings are divided into Heading, Categories, and Portfolios.
Categories
Organize portfolio items into filterable groups. Each category has:
- Name -- The category name (e.g., "Web Design," "Branding," "Photography").
Click "Add New Category" for more. Reorder by dragging. If you don't need filtering, leave categories empty -- items display in a flat list.
Portfolio items
Each item has:
- Category -- Optional dropdown assigning the item to a category (only appears when categories exist). Enables visitor-side filtering.
- Title -- The project name (e.g., "Acme Corp Rebrand" or "Summer Photography Series").
- Link -- URL to the full project, case study, or external page.
- Background -- Cover image upload. Use high-quality images with a vertical aspect ratio for best results.
Click "Add New Portfolio" for more items. Reorder by dragging.

Layout options
Same options as the Testimonials block:
- Grid -- Items in a responsive grid. Choose 1 or 2 columns.
- Carousel -- Horizontal slider with optional navigation arrows and pagination dots.
Grid is best when you want all items visible at once. Carousel works better with many items to keep the page compact.

This block includes the standard heading options.
Pro Tip: Use consistent image dimensions across portfolio items for the cleanest look. Different aspect ratios still work, but uniform images create a more polished grid.
Brands/Clients block
The Brands/Clients block displays logos of companies or clients you've worked with -- a straightforward trust signal that says, "These organizations trust me."
How it works
Find it in the Content category (listed as "Client & Brands"). Each brand entry is a logo image upload. Logos display in a clean, evenly spaced horizontal carousel.

- Agencies -- Your client roster demonstrating scale and variety.
- Creators and influencers -- Brand partnerships and sponsorships.
- Service providers -- Organizations that trust your services.
This block includes the standard heading options.
Pro Tip: Use transparent PNG logos with consistent sizing for the cleanest look.
