How to make fully responsive modern portfolio using pure HTML, CSS and JS.

#html #css #javascript #webdev

Hello, Today we'll see how to make a fully responsive modern portfolio using pure HTML, CSS and JS. No other library. You learn to create responsive design, you'll learn about CSS pseudo elements. You'll learn about nodemailer to make a working contact form. And much more.

To see demo or you want coding tutorial with explanation. You can watch the tutorial below.

Video Tutorial

I appreciate if you can support me by subscribing my youtube channel.

So, without wasting more time let's see how to code this.

Code

Before we start writing our code. Let's see its folder structure.

Frame 8

And yes, it is a nodeJS app because we want working mailing system and only servers can send mail not client side browser.

As you can notice, we have project.js file. This files contain our project data. Having a project data make easier for you to add and delete or edit any project you want. Let's see its data structure.

let projects = [
    {
        name: "project one",
        tags: "#javascript, #fullstack, #ui/ux, #backend",
        image: "project (1).png",
    },
    {
        name: "project two",
        tags: "#javascript, #fullstack",
        image: "project (2).png",
    },
    // +8 more
]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can see we have project name, its tags, and image path. This way we can easily handle our projects without editing any code.

So let's start by initializing NPM.

NPM init

Inside your root directory outside public folder, open your command prompt or terminal and run npm init cmd. This will initialize NPM to your projects.

Now run this command to install these libraries.

npm i express.js nodemon nodemailer dotenv
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

express.js - is to create a server
nodemon - is to run server continuously
nodemailer - is to send mails
dotenv - is for making environment variable. We'll use this store our email id and password outside of server.

After done installing libraries. Let's make some changes in package.json. Open it. And change its scripts data.

"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon server.js"
  },
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then make server.js file inside your root directory (not in public folder). Open it.

Server.js

Start by importing libraries/packages.

const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Setup dotenv so we can access environment variable.

dotenv.config();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then store your public folder path to a variable and make server.

let initialPath = path.join(__dirname, "public");
let app = express();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now use app.use method to setup middlewares.

app.use(express.static(initialPath));
app.use(express.json());
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

They both are important, express.json will enable form data sharing and express.static will set public folder as a static path.

After this make home route. And send index.html file.

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile(path.join(initialPath, "index.html"));
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And at last, make server listen on 3000 port.

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('listening.....');
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So, our server is done for now. Let's run the server by running npm start cmd on your terminal.

Now let's start working on portfolio.

Portfolio

Open index.html and write basic HTML structure. Then link style.css and app.js to the file. After that make navbar.

<!-- navbar  -->
<nav class="navbar">
    <h1 class="brand">logo</h1>
    <div class="toggle-btn">
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
    </div>
    <ul class="links-container">
        <li class="links-item"><a href="#" class="link active">home</a></li>
        <li class="links-item"><a href="#project-section" class="link">project</a></li>
        <li class="links-item"><a href="#about-section" class="link">about</a></li>
        <li class="links-item"><a href="#contact-section" class="link">contact</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And give it some styles.

*{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

html{
    scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

body{
    width: 100%;
    position: relative;
    background: #1d1d1d;
    color: #fff;
    font-family: 'roboto', sans-serif;
}

/* navbar */

.navbar{
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 60px;
    background: #1d1d1d;
    padding: 0 10vw;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
    z-index: 9;
}

.brand{
    text-transform: capitalize;
    font-weight: 500;
}

.links-container{
    display: flex;
    list-style: none;
}

.link{
    text-transform: capitalize;
    color: #fff;
    text-decoration: none;
    margin: 0 10px;
    padding: 10px;
    position: relative;
}

.link:hover:not(.active){
    opacity: 0.7;
}

.link.active::before,
.seperator::before{
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    width: 5px;
    height: 5px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: #fff;
}

.link.active::after,
.seperator::after{
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 2px;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 1px;
    background: #fff;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Note

  1. You can see scroll-behavior given to html. If you don't give this you'll not be able to get smooth scrolling effect.
  2. you can also see seperator element in the styles but don't worry we'll create this later.

And now create skills section. Add this structure inside about section.

<section class="about" id="about-section">
      //previous elements
<h2 class="heading">languages and framework i know</h2>
    <div class="seperator"></div>
    <div class="skill-container">
        <div class="skill-card" style="--bg: #f06529">
            <p class="skill">HTML</p>
        </div>
        <div class="skill-card" style="--bg: #379ad6">
            <p class="skill">CSS</p>
        </div>
        <div class="skill-card" style="--bg: #cc6699">
            <p class="skill">SCSS</p>
        </div>
        <div class="skill-card" style="--bg: #f7df1e">
            <p class="skill">JavaScript</p>
        </div>
        <div class="skill-card large" style="--bg: #5ed9fb">
            <p class="skill">ReactJS</p>
        </div>
        <div class="skill-card large" style="--bg: #83cd29">
            <p class="skill">NodeJS</p>
        </div>
        <div class="skill-card" style="--bg: #326690">
            <p class="skill">Postgres SQL</p>

        <div class="skill-card large" style="--bg: #5ed9fb">
            <p class="skill">Much More</p>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>

You can notice we have style="--bg: value" to skill-card element. What this is doing is, it is setting up different --bg CSS variable for different elements. So this way we can add same effect with different colors.

.skill-container{
    position: relative;
    margin-top: 100px;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
    grid-gap: 20px;
}

.skill-card{
    height: 200px;
    border-radius: 10px;
    border: 1px solid #464646;
    text-align: center;
    position: relative;
    cursor: pointer;
    transition: .5s;
}

.skill{
    font-size: 2rem;
    color: #464646;
    line-height: 200px;
}

.skill-card:hover{
    background: var(--bg);
}

.skill-card:hover .skill{
    color: #fff;
}

.skill-card.large{
    grid-column: 2 span;

Now, let's create project section. In project section first make filter buttons.

<!-- project section -->
<section class="project" id="project-section">
    <h2 class="heading">Project<span class="highlight">s</span></h2>
    <p class="sub-heading">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. </p>
    <div class="seperator"></div>

    <div class="filters">
        <button class="filter-btn active" id="all">all</button>
        <button class="filter-btn" id="javascript">javaScript</button>
        <button class="filter-btn" id="ui">ui/ux</button>
        <button class="filter-btn" id="backend">backend</button>
        <button class="filter-btn" id="fullstack">fullStack</button>
    </div>
</section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The id attribute in filters will help us in filtering the projects.

/* project section */

.project, .contact{
    position: relative;
    padding: 50px 10vw;
}

.filters{
    width: fit-content;
    display: block;
    margin: 100px auto;
}

.filter-btn{
    padding: 10px 20px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    border: none;
    text-transform: capitalize;
    margin: 0 5px 10px;
    cursor: pointer;
}

.filter-btn.active{
    background: #ff3559;
    color: #fff;

And now just for styling purpose make single project card.

<div class="project-container">
    <div class="project-card">
        <img src="img/project (1).png" alt="">
        <div class="content">
            <h1 class="project-name">project one</h1>
            <span class="tags">#javascript</span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
.project-container{
    width: 100%;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
    grid-gap: 20px;
}

.project-card{
    position: relative;
    cursor: pointer;
    display: block;
}

.project-card img{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    object-fit: cover;
}

.project-card .content{
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    transition: .5s;
    text-transform: capitalize;
    opacity: 0;
}

.project-name{
    font-weight: 300;
    font-size: 2.5rem;
    text-align: center;
}

.tags{
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 20px;
    opacity: 0.6;
    width: 90%;
}

.project-card:hover .content{
    opacity: 1;
}

.project-card.hide{
    display: none;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Content is showing on hover

Now you can comment the project card.

<div class="project-container">
    <!-- <div class="project-card">
        <img src="img/project (1).png" alt="">
        <div class="content">
            <h1 class="project-name">project one</h1>
            <span class="tags">#javascript</span>
        </div>
    </div> -->
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And let's make project card dynamically. But before doing that. Add you project.js file before app.js file. Otherwise you'll not be able to access project data.

<script src="project.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now open app.js. And before making project card. Let make the links toggle active class. For that code this.

// links

const links = document.querySelectorAll('.link');

links.forEach(link => {
    link.addEventListener('click', () => {
        links.forEach(ele => ele.classList.remove('active'));
        link.classList.add('active');
    })
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And after doing that we are good to go on project cards. So code this.

// creating dynamic project card

const projectContainer = document.querySelector('.project-container');

projects.forEach(project => {
    projectContainer.innerHTML += `
    <div class="project-card" data-tags="#all, ${project.tags}">
        <img src="img/${project.image}" alt="">
        <div class="content">
            <h1 class="project-name">${project.name}</h1>
            <span class="tags">${project.tags}</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    `;
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can see we are just selecting the project container and then looping through the data to make cards.

Great! now make filter button functional.

// filters

const filters = document.querySelectorAll('.filter-btn');

filters.forEach(filterBtn => {
    filterBtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
        let id = filterBtn.getAttribute('id');
        let projectCards = document.querySelectorAll('.project-card');
        projectCards.forEach(card => {
            if(card.getAttribute('data-tags').includes(id)){
                card.classList.remove('hide');
            } else{
                card.classList.add('hide');
            }
        })

        filters.forEach(btn => btn.classList.remove('active'));
        filterBtn.classList.add('active');
    })
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In above code, we are just adding click event to filter button and toggling some elements class.

So out project section is fully done. Now, make contact form.

<!-- contact form -->
<section class="contact" id="contact-section">
    <h2 class="heading">Contact<span class="highlight"> me</span></h2>
    <p class="sub-heading">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. </p>

    padding: 20px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    background: #000;
    color: #fff;
    border: none;
    outline: none;
    margin: 30px 0;
    text-transform: capitalize;
    resize: none;
}

.message{
    height: 200px;

    justify-content: space-between;
}

.name input{
    width: 49%;
    margin: 0;
}

.contact-form .btn{
    display: block;
    margin: auto;
    cursor: pointer;

/* footer */

.footer{
    width: 100%;
    height: 30px;

Now, let's make mail route inside server.js

app.post('/mail', (req, res) => {
    const { firstname, lastname, email, msg } = req.body;

    const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
        service: 'gmail',
        auth: {
            user: process.env.EMAIL,
            pass: process.env.PASSWORD
        }
    })

    const mailOptions = {
        from: 'sender email',
        to: 'receiver email',
        subject: 'Postfolio',
        text: `First name: ${firstname}, \nLast name: ${lastname}, \nEmail: ${email}, \nMessage: ${msg}`
    }

    transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (err, result) => {
        if (err){
            console.log(err);
            res.json('opps! it seems like some error occured plz. try again.')
        } else{
            res.json('thanks for e-mailing me. I will reply to you within 2 working days');
        }
    })

This is a way to send mail with nodemailer. There are some thing you have to notice.

  1. process.env.EMAIL & process.env.PASSWORD this keyword give you access to environment variable but we haven't made any variable, for that. Create a file in your root directory .env. Name should be the same. Open it and type this. 
EMAIL=your email
PASSWORD=your email's password
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So now if you understand, process.env will access these variables.

  1. from & to parameters. In the code above I have not entered my email's but in order to make mail work you have to give email id as their params. You can give same email id to both.

So out server is fully done. Now, make contact form working.

//contact form
const contactBtn = document.querySelector('.contact-btn');
const firstName = document.querySelector('.first-name');
const lastName = document.querySelector('.last-name');
const email = document.querySelector('.email');
const msg = document.querySelector('.message');

contactBtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
    if(firstName.value.length && lastName.value.length && email.value.length && msg.value.length){
        fetch('/mail', {
            method: 'post',
            headers: new Headers({'Content-Type': 'application/json'}),
            body: JSON.stringify({
                firstname: firstName.value,
                lastname: lastName.value,
                email: email.value,
                msg: msg.value,
            })
        })
        .then(res => res.json())
        .then(data => {
            alert(data);
        })
    }
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In above code, I am just selecting all forms input and making POST request to /mail route.

Our contact form is also. Done.

Now make this website responsive.

Responsive - Tablet 

/* tablet view */

@media (max-width: 996px){
    html{
        font-size: 14px;
    }
    /* toggle btn */
    .toggle-btn{
        position: absolute;
        width: 40px;
        height: 40px;
        right: 10vw;
        cursor: pointer;
    }
    .toggle-btn span{
        position: absolute;
        width: 100%;
        height: 2px;
        background: #fff;
        top: 30%;
        transition: .5s;
    }
    .toggle-btn span:nth-child(2){
        top: 70%;
    }
    .toggle-btn.active span:nth-child(1){
        top: 50%;
        transform: rotate(45deg);
    }
    .toggle-btn.active span:nth-child(2){
        top: 50%;
        transform: rotate(-45deg);
    }
    /* links */
    .links-container{
        position: absolute;
        top: 60px;
        background: #1d1d1d;
        width: 100%;
        left: 0;
        padding: 0 10vw;
        flex-direction: column;
        transition: .5s;
        opacity: 0;
        pointer-events: none;
    }
    .links-container.show{
        opacity: 1;
        pointer-events: all;
    }
    .link{
        margin-left: auto;
        text-align: center;
        display: block;
        height: 50px;
    }
    /* home section */
    .home{
        flex-direction: column-reverse;
        height: fit-content;
        padding-bottom: 50px;
    }
    .home .image{
        width: 250px;
        margin: 40px;
    }
    .hero-content{
        width: 70%;
        min-width: 350px;
        text-align: center;
    }
    .hero-heading{
        font-size: 4.5rem;
    }

    /* about-section */
    .about-me-container{
        grid-template-columns: 1fr;
    }
    .left-col{
        margin: auto;
        width: 50%;
        min-width: 320px;
    }
    .skill-container, .project-container{
        grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
    }
    .skill-card{
        grid-column: 1 span !important;
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can see we are styling toggle-btn here. But to make it function you need to code this inside app.js.

//toggle button
const toggleBtn = document.querySelector('.toggle-btn');
const linkContainer = document.querySelector('.links-container');

toggleBtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
    toggleBtn.classList.toggle('active');
    linkContainer.classList.toggle('show');
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Responsive - Mobile 

/* mobile view */
@media (max-width: 500px){
    html{
        font-size: 12px;
    }
    p, .sub-heading, .about-para, .left-col::before, .tags{
        font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
    .about-image{
        width: 90%;
        margin: auto;
        display: block;
    }
    .skill-container, .project-container{
        grid-template-columns: 1fr;
    }
    .skill{
        font-size: 2.5rem;
    }
    .project-name{
        font-size: 3rem;
    }
    .name{
        flex-direction: column;
    }
    .name input{
        width: 100%;
    }
    .first-name{
        margin-bottom: 20px !important;
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Thank you for this article. When I hire a programmer , I'm hiring a programmer. I don't hire I don't hire someone that knows just a framework. To me that's worthless unless you are very strong at the underlying technologies. all too often New people go for the instant gratification of a framework and fail to understand the theoretical and technical underpinnings

as a young programmer, I would really love if you could please explain what do you exactly mean and expect from an employee by theoretical and technical underpinning 😊

As an example. If you were applying for a frontend web developer position, I would expect you to know how browsers populate the page. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
I would also expect that you were well versed in vanilla ES6+, Vanilla CSS and HTML and solid technical writing skills. I would expect that you understood algorithm design, complexity, version contol and Linux. This is for a junior position. I would also expect you to have an Bachelors of Science degree. This would indicate to me that you have a mathematical background up to at least "diff eq", and an understanding of root cause analysis. No BS degree = no interview. That's not to say that everyone with a BS is qualified only to say that if you don't have one, you are disqualified. You wouldn't trust a doctor, dentist or attorney that didn't have a degree and there is no reason programming positions should be any different.

It's not a laughing matter, nor is it me questioning your worth as a human being. My answer to your question though is a resounding no. Imagine if you went to a law firm and applied to be a lawyer there. Would you have a chance? Certainly not. This is no different. I'm sure many people can give anecdotal reasons why someone might not need a degree, but they are talking about extreme outliers and certainly not the general norm. Again come up just because you have a degree doesn't mean you'll be good at the career, but not having a degree does preclude you from it.

Good post. Nice explanation of core fundamentals. You can reduce your code a little if you write styles on html tags directly where possible. Like on <footer class="footer"> you can write styles directly on footer tag instead of giving it a class. But its a personal choice. I appreciate your post for focusing on proper basic concepts instead of some half baked tutorial on framework.

Yep, I def like having the frame of my layout created with all semantic tags and targeting then with css without using classes but tag name, footer, nav, header, aside, etc..
