Portfolio Site

A portfolio site is used for showcasing the skills and achievements of an individual. It helps to grow your online presence.

The better the portfolio's design, the stronger the impression it leaves on the readers.

Prerequisites

To understand this tutorial, you should have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS. If you are not familiar with HTML and CSS, read our comprehensive HTML Tutorial and CSS Tutorial.

CSS concepts to design our portfolio site:

Portfolio Layout

The final layout of our Portfolio site will look like this:

Approach

To develop our portfolio site, we will have the following steps:

First, add a header to the portfolio.
Create a hero section with a short introduction and a profile picture.
Add an about section with a brief summary.
Create an experience section to provide a detailed overview of our skills.
Add a project section to highlight projects we have done.
Add a contact section for visitors.
Create a footer for the portfolio.
Finally, add media queries to make the website responsive for mobile devices.

Resetting Browser Stylesheet Rule

Before we jump to build our portfolio site, it is recommended to reset the browser's default stylesheet in our CSS to gain greater control over the layout.

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

Resetting the browser's padding and margins to 0 ensures precise control over the width and height of elements.

Additionally, setting the box-sizing property to border-box allows both padding and border to be added within the width and height of the element.

Step 1: Add Header Section

First, let's add the header section to our website with a logo and navigation links.

HTML

CSS

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
        <title>Portfolio</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    </head>

    <body>
        <!-- header starts here -->
        <header>
            <div class="header-container">
                <!-- a wrapper for our logo -->
                <div class="logo-wrapper">
                    <div class="logo-image-wrapper">
                        <img
                            src="https://d4.alternativeto.net/0-hri_WCH1icsgL8PEE182XiP4x-zzUMGbNu5WkPVuk/rs:fit:1200:1200:0/g:ce:0:0/YWJzOi8vZGlzdC9zL3Byb2dyYW1pei1jb21fNTQ4MDU2X2Z1bGwuanBn.jpg"
                        />
                    </div>
                    <a class="logo-text" href="#">Jane</a>
                </div>

                <!-- used to create hamburger menu for mobile, initially hidden -->
                <label class="hamburger-menu" for="menu-button">
                    <span class="bar"></span>
                    <span class="bar"></span>
                    <span class="bar"></span>
                </label>

                <!-- apply styles for mobile menu based on whether checkbox is checked or not -->
                <input type="checkbox" id="menu-button" />

                <!-- navigation links for different sections -->
                <nav class="main-navbar">
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="#home-section">HOME</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#about-section">ABOUT</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#experience-section">EXPERIENCE</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#project-section">PROJECT</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#contact-section">CONTACT</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </nav>
            </div>
        </header>

    </body>
</html>

/* reset the browser styles */

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

body {
    font-family: Nunito, sans-serif;
    position: relative;
}

/* styles for the header */
header {
    width: 100%;
    height: 80px;
    background-color: #150f41;

    /* make header fixed */
    position: fixed;

    left: 0;

    z-index: 3;

    /* padding top/bottom set to 0, and left/right to 40px */
    padding: 0px 40px;
}

/* styles for header container */
header .header-container {
    background-color: #150f41;

    /* arrange every immediate child horizontally */
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;

    /* set the max-width */
    max-width: 1172px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0px 80px;
}

/* styles for logo wrapper */
.logo-wrapper {
    width: auto;
    height: 80px;
    line-height: 80px;
}

.logo-image-wrapper {
    width: 40px;
    height: 40px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    /* takes space as required only */
    display: inline-block;
    margin-right: 8px;

    /* align the logo vertically center within the parent height */
    vertical-align: middle;
}

/* styles the logo image */
.logo-image-wrapper img {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    border-radius: 50%;
    object-fit: cover;
}

/* styles the logo text */
.logo-wrapper .logo-text {
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
}

/* styles the list containing navigation link */
header .main-navbar ul {
    /* arrange all links horizontally */
    display: flex;

    /* sets 20px space between flex items (list items) */
    gap: 20px;

    /* hides the list marker */
    list-style: none;
}

/* styles the links */
.main-navbar a {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: white;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 18px;
}

/* style link on mouse over */
.main-navbar a:hover {
    color: #ff4d71;
}

/* styles for hamburger menu */
.hamburger-menu {
    /* initially hide the menu for larger devices */
    display: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    border: none;
    cursor: pointer;

    /* precisely arrange hamburger menu within navigation bar */
    position: absolute;
    right: 20px;
    top: 30px;
}

/* styles for each bar of menu */
.hamburger-menu .bar {
    width: 20px;
    height: 3px;
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 4px;
    background-color: white;
}

.hamburger-menu:hover .bar {
    background-color: #ff4d71;
}

/* hide the checkbox, used for only to set style based on checkbox state */
header input {
    display: none;
}

Browser Output

In the above step,

Setting display: flex on .header-container allows .logo-wrapper and .main-navbar to align horizontally, with justify-content: space-between adding space between them.

Setting display: flex on .main-navbar arranges all list items (links) horizontally, with the gap property adding 20px of space between them.

The checkbox in HTML triggers styles based on its checked state, specifically for mobile devices. Styles for the checked state will be added later. Initially, it is hidden with the display property.

The empty span elements create the bars for the hamburger icon.

Step 2: Add Hero Section

We will add a hero section to our portfolio in this step. This section will include a brief summary and a profile picture.

First, we will create a section within the main element to keep the hero section.

Later, we will create different sections for each element of the portfolio, such as about, experience, projects, and contact. We will then add the relevant content to each section.

Let's continue building our portfolio!

In the above step,

Setting display: flex on .section-hero with justify-items and align-items set to center positions the content horizontally and vertically within the hero section.
Setting text-align: center aligns the text in the center.
Setting border-radius: 50% makes the image circular.
A <link> tag is added to access icons from the Font Awesome library.

Note: The hero section allows us to provide the first impression of who we are and what we do.

Step 3: Add About Section

In this step, we will add an about section with our short introduction.

Project

Here are a few past projects I've worked on.

Fully flexible and responsive web app for e-commerce website.

Here, all the .project-card elements are enclosed within a .project-card-wrapper and arranged in a flex layout.

Also, we have positioned the .card-content absolutely, and it is visible while hovering, changing the opacity to 1.

Step 6: Add Contact Section

In this step, we will add a form to allow the visitors to get in touch with us.

Optimize Page for Mobile Devices

Finally, let's add media queries to make our portfolio site responsive for mobile devices.

Media queries allow us to trigger our styles in a certain width (breakpoint).

To make the portfolio responsive, we will,

Convert the header into a hamburger menu with the help of a checkbox.
Arrange all the experience cards and project cards vertically on top of each other.
Stack the form field and message box on top of each other.

/* trigger the styles at width of 756px */
