🚀 How I Built My First Portfolio Website from Scratch
Hey Dev Community 👋,
I recently completed my first personal portfolio website and wanted to share my journey, learnings, and tips with you all.
💡 Why Did I Build It?
As a final-year student preparing for placements, I wanted a platform to showcase my skills, projects, and achievements. A portfolio website acts like a digital resume, and it also helped me strengthen my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills.
🛠️ Tech Stack Used
- HTML5 → For structure
- CSS3 (Flexbox + Grid) → For responsive styling
- JavaScript → For interactivity (typewriter effect, smooth scrolling, dark mode toggle)
🎨 Key Features of My Portfolio
- Sticky Navbar with smooth scroll
- Typewriter Effect on the Homepage
- About Section with profile image
- Skills Section with progress bars
- Projects Section showcasing my work
- Contact Section with a form + social links
- Mobile Responsive Design
📚 What I Learned
- How to structure clean HTML code
- Responsive design techniques using CSS Grid & Flexbox
- Adding interactivity with Vanilla JS
- Importance of UI/UX in personal branding
🎯 Next Steps
- Add a blog section inside my portfolio
- Integrate backend with Node.js for contact form
- Add dark/light mode toggle
💬 Final Thoughts
