Hello everyone, today we are going to build a portfolio website with HTML, CSS & JavaScript.
We will not use any other library or framework, just vanilla CSS & JavaScript.
So, let’s get started.
If you prefer video content then check this one out.:
Prerequisite:
To follow along you don’t need to be a pro at anything, all you need is the fundamentals:
- The fundamentals of Html & CSS
- The fundamentals of JavaScript.
Setup:
Before we start we’ll have to set up the project. For the setup, you won’t have to do much.
Just create these files:
- Index.html
- Styles.css
- Script.js
and then include this code snippet in the Index.html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Document</title>
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@200;300;400;500;700&display=swap"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.3.0/css/all.min.css"
/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<script src="./script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Then add this to the styles.css file:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
}
:root {
--primary: #03011c;
--secondery: #1c1847;
--accent: #0cb8c2;
--text: #fff;
}
html {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
}
body {
background: var(--primary);
font-family: Poppins, sans-serif;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: var(--text);
}
img {
width: 100%;
}
Also include the utility classes too:
/* utility classes */
.container {
padding: 4rem 2rem;
color: var(--text);
}
.highlighted {
color: var(--accent);
}
.hidden {
display: none;
}
.btn {
background-color: var(--accent);
color: var(--text);
padding: 0.5rem 3rem;
border-radius: 5rem;
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 2rem;
border: 2px solid var(--accent);
}
.btn:hover {
background-color: transparent;
color: var(--accent);
}
So, the setup is done!
Let’s start building.
The Sections:
Before we start let’s look at how I structured the project.
Our portfolio website has 5 sections.
- Home
- About
- Services
- Projects and
- Contact
1. Home:
This section includes the header and the hero section.
Let’s build the header first.
Header HTML:
The header consists of the logo, nav links, and mobile menu toggler.
<header>
<nav class="nav">
<a href="/" class="logo"> <span class="highlighted"> O</span>liver</a>
<div class="nav-links">
<a href="#home" class="nav-item nav-item-active">Home</a>
<a href="#about" class="nav-item">About</a>
<a href="#services" class="nav-item">Services</a>
<a href="#projects" class="nav-item">projects</a>
<a href="#contact" class="nav-item">contact</a>
</div>
<div class="toggler">
<span class="line"></span><span class="line"></span
><span class="line"></span>
</div>
</nav>
</header>
One quick note before we move on to CSS. We are going to follow the mobile-first approach here, we will at the desktop design at the end.
Header CSS:
/* Header style */
.nav {
background-color: var(--secondery);
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
.logo {
font-weight: 700;
font-size: 1.5rem;
}
.nav-links {
position: absolute;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
top: 50px;
background-color: var(--secondery);
width: 100%;
left: -200%;
padding: 1rem;
transition: left 0.5s ease;
}
.nav-active {
left: 0;
}
.nav-item {
font-size: 0.8rem;
opacity: 0.7;
display: block;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 1rem;
text-transform: capitalize;
position: relative;
}
.nav-item::after {
content: "";
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 2px;
background-color: rgb(56, 56, 56);
margin-top: 0.5rem;
}
.nav-item:hover {
opacity: 1;
}
.nav-item-active::after {
background-color: var(--accent);
opacity: 1;
}
.toggler .line {
width: 30px;
height: 2px;
display: block;
background-color: var(--text);
margin: 5px;
}
Header JavaScript:
We have to add the javascript to make the toggler and the nav-item’s active state work.
Here’s the code, add it to the script.js file.
const toggler = document.querySelector(".toggler");
const navLinks = document.querySelector(".nav-links");
const navItems = document.querySelectorAll(".nav-item");
// show and hide navbar in mobile
toggler.addEventListener("click", () => {
navLinks.classList.toggle("nav-active");
});
// add active class on click to nav-items
navItems.forEach((item) => {
item.addEventListener("click", function () {
navItems.forEach((i) => i.classList.remove("nav-item-active"));
this.classList.add("nav-item-active");
navLinks.classList.toggle("nav-active");
});
});
That’s the section. Let’s add the hero section.
Hero HTML
<section class="hero container" id="home">
<div class="hero-info">
<h1 class="title">Oliver <span class="highlighted">Queen</span></h1>
<p class="hero-description">Web developer based in Starling City.</p>
<a href="#services" class="btn hero-btn">Services</a>
</div>
<div class="hero-img">
<img src="./images/hero-img.png" alt="Oliver Queen" />
</div>
</section>
Hero CSS:
/* Hero styles */
.hero {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
color: var(--text);
}
.hero-img {
padding-top: 2rem;
}
.hero-info {
text-align: center;
padding-top: 3rem;
}
.title {
font-size: 2.5rem;
}
.hero-description {
opacity: 0.7;
}
2. About
