As web developers, we spend a lot of time building projects for others — but often neglect one important thing: our own portfolio.
After reviewing my old portfolio, I realized it had the same problems I see everywhere:
- It didn’t clearly show my skills
- It was harder to maintain than it should be
- And it didn’t really feel professional
So I decided to rebuild it from scratch.
The common problem with developer portfolios
While looking at many developer portfolios, I noticed recurring issues:
- Over-engineered setups for a simple portfolio
- Poor performance and Lighthouse scores
- Hard-to-read code that makes customization painful
What most developers really need is not something fancy — but something clear, fast, and easy to adapt.
My approach
I approached my portfolio like a real-world product instead of a quick personal project.
Key decisions:
- Mobile-first layout
- Clean, readable code
- SEO-friendly HTML structure
- Fast loading and optimized assets
-
Simple sections anyone can edit:
- About
- Projects
- Skills
- Experience
- Contact
The goal was simple:
Any developer should be able to customize it in minutes, not hours.
Tech stack
The template is intentionally simple and framework-light:
- HTML5
- CSS (modern layout techniques)
- JavaScript (only where necessary)
No complex build steps. No unnecessary dependencies.
You can:
- Open it locally
- Deploy it anywhere
- Adapt it to your own stack if needed
From personal portfolio to reusable template
After sharing the portfolio with some fellow developers, I kept hearing the same thing:
“This would save me a lot of time.”
That’s when I decided to:
- Clean up the code
- Improve the structure
- Add clear documentation
And turn it into a reusable portfolio template for developers.
Why it costs only $10
This is not meant to be a premium, over-complicated product.
I priced it at $10 because:
- It saves hours (or days) of work
- It provides a solid, professional base
-
It’s perfect for:
- Junior developers
- Freelancers
- Developers applying for jobs
Sometimes, paying a small amount to save time is the smartest choice.
Who is this template for?
This template is ideal if you:
- Want a clean and professional portfolio
- Prefer simple, understandable code
- Don’t want to start from scratch
- Need something fast, responsive, and easy to deploy
