  For everything else, you can put anything you like. e.g the or tags

  Now, run the application and make sure it works as expected. I'm using Live server, a VS Code extension that provides real-time updates of your changes (You don't have to use it though).

  To verify that our CSS file have been linked correctly.
  In your CSS file, paste: body {background-color: #333;}

  Now run the app, you should see a dark background.
  If that is not the case, try to verify you don't have a typo when linking your file, either way, I'm sure you'll figure it out 😎!.

  Moving forward.

  For the files/assets (icons, images) we'll be using in this tutorial, Checkout the GitHub repo, you can download them from there, otherwise you can use Font Awesome, Flat Icon or any icon library of your choice.

  CSS Globals and Setup ⚙️

  We'll create some global styles/variables and some basic setups, these are properties I know for sure we'll be using more than once in this tutorial and you don't have to know it all at first, just create a global when you notice you're re-writing the same thing more than once.

  We'll be coding 3-sections for this portfolio and now that we have all the basic setup ready, let's get coding.

  Contact Section (Also the Nav and Footer)

  • HTML

  

  • CSS

  

  • Visual 🔎

  If you didn't miss anything out, you should have this:

  

  You can take some time to understand the HTML structure and how the styles apply. Also, as you move forward with the code, you'll soon come to realize that we're mostly just reusing the CSS we've written in globals earlier (Section: CSS Globals and Setup).

  About Section

  • HTML

  

  Now, if you're wondering what document.write(new Date().getFullYear() - 2013) does. It's javaScript and it's here so we won't have to calculate the years of experience by updating the portfolio/code manually. So if 2012, 2018, or 2020 is the year you started coding? Just replace 2013 in the code with yours.

  Though the year you started coding might not exactly pass as experience but... you get the point 🍵

  • CSS

  

  • Visuals 🔎

  

  If you don't see something similar to the visual 👆 image above, make sure all your HTML Tags are closed correctly. Do some error checks on your syntax, I'm sure you'll fix it.

  Experience Section

  • HTML

  

  From the snippet above, the duplicateThisDiv class is purely for reference, we won't be styling using that class name. Just duplicate the

  by as much experience you have.

  • CSS

  

  • Visuals 🔎

  

  Portfolio Section

  • HTML

  

  There's a duplicateThisTag class in the snippet above. You already know what to do 👍

  • CSS

  

  • Visuals 🔎

  

  Lastly

  • The Footer

  This is just a replica of the Contact section, so just copy/paste it and use it as your footer. Don't forget to replace the

  tag with a footer tag in this case.

  My Thoughts 🤔 💭

  I've seen people get better opportunities because they have an online portfolio, including myself (and you don't have to own the greatest portfolio on the planet). If you already have solid years of experience, you might not necessarily need one, however, having one has no disadvantage irrespective of your level in the tech world (I understand that you might have a different opinion).
  You can look up some reasons why you should consider having one if you're still unsure about the importance of it.
