How to Build a Portfolio Website
Having a portfolio website is one of the best ways to showcase your skills, build your online presence, and attract clients or job opportunities. It shows you’re serious, skilled, and ready to take on real-world projects.
Start by learning the core technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These are the building blocks of any website. Focus on building responsive layouts using Flexbox or Grid, and make sure your design works well on both desktop and mobile devices.
🌐 Use Frameworks Wisely: Tools like Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS can save time and help you create beautiful, mobile-friendly designs faster. Bootstrap gives you ready-made components. Tailwind gives you full control with utility classes. Choose what suits your style.
🧠 Highlight Your Best Projects: Don't just add every project — add those that solve real problems or showcase your unique skills. Explain what tech you used, the challenges you faced, and how you solved them. Link your GitHub if possible.
📑 Page Suggestions:
- Home Page: A quick intro about yourself, featured projects, and contact links.
- Projects Page: Detailed project showcases with images, GitHub links, and short descriptions.
- Blog or Story Page: Share your journey, learning tips, and personal growth.
- Contact Page: Let people reach you directly via a form or email link.
