1. Set Up Your Project Folder
Create a folder named portfolio-site with 3 files inside:
index.htmlstyles.cssscript.js
2. HTML: Create the Structure (index.html)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Your Name | Portfolio</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Your Name</h1>
<nav>
<a href="#about">About</a>
<a href="#projects">Projects</a>
<a href="#contact">Contact</a>
</nav>
</header>
<main>
<section id="about">
<h2>About Me</h2>
<p>Short intro about who you are.</p>
</section>
<section id="projects">
<h2>Projects</h2>
<div class="project-grid"></div>
</section>
<section id="contact">
<h2>Contact</h2>
<form>
<input type="text" placeholder="Your Name" />
<input type="email" placeholder="Your Email" />
<textarea placeholder="Message"></textarea>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
</section>
</main>
<footer>© 2025 Your Name</footer>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
3. CSS: Style It Up (styles.css)
body {
font-family: sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
header {
background: #2c3e50;
color: white;
padding: 1rem;
text-align: center;
}
nav a {
margin: 0 10px;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
}
.project-grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(250px, 1fr));
gap: 1rem;
padding: 1rem;
}
form {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
}
input, textarea, button {
margin: 0.5rem 0;
padding: 0.7rem;
}
button {
background: #2c3e50;
color: white;
border: none;
}
4. JavaScript: Add Interaction (script.js)
document.querySelectorAll('nav a').forEach(link => {
link.addEventListener('click', e => {
e.preventDefault();
document.querySelector(link.getAttribute('href')).scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
});
});
document.querySelector('form').addEventListener('submit', e => {
e.preventDefault();
alert('Message sent!');
});
