A portfolio is your online resume — but with proof of your skills. Here’s how to build one from scratch:
- 1. Create a Personal Website:
Use HTML/CSS or a tool like GitHub Pages or Webflow. Include an “About Me,” a resume download, and contact info. - 2. Add 2–3 Projects:
Even if they’re small, focus on quality. Examples:- A to-do list app
- A blog with comments
- A responsive landing page
- A data dashboard (for Python learners)
- 3. Use GitHub:
Share code, write clear README files, and keep your repos tidy. - 4. Show Growth:
It’s okay if your first projects aren’t perfect — write a blog post about what you learned or improved. - 5. Get Feedback:
Ask mentors or community members to review your work.
