Full Stack Portfolio Website Tutorial
Welcome to our beginner-friendly tutorial on creating a full stack portfolio website! In this series, we will cover everything from frontend to backend development to help you build a professional portfolio to showcase your skills and projects.
Part 1: Frontend Development
In this first part of the tutorial, we will focus on frontend development. This involves creating the visual layout and design of your portfolio website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Setting Up Your Project
Before we start coding, make sure you have a code editor installed on your computer. You can use popular editors like VS Code, Sublime Text, or Atom.
Create a new folder for your project and open it in your code editor.
Creating the HTML Structure
Start by creating an index.html file in your project folder. This will be the main entry point of your website.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>My Portfolio</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Welcome to My Portfolio</h1>
</header>
<main>
<section>
<h2>About Me</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Projects</h2>
<div class="project">
<h3>Project Title</h3>
<p>Project Description</p>
</div>
</section>
</main>
<footer>
<p>Copyright © 2023 My Portfolio</p>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
Styling with CSS
Create a new file named style.css in your project folder to add styling to your website.
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
header {
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0;
}
main {
padding: 20px;
}
section {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.project {
background-color: #f4f4f4;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
footer {
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0;
}
Adding Interactivity with JavaScript
If you want to add some interactive elements to your website, you can use JavaScript. For example, you can create a slideshow of your projects or a form for visitors to contact you.
Now that you have completed the frontend development of your portfolio website, you are ready to move on to the backend development in the next part of this tutorial. Stay tuned for Part 2!
