Hello! 😺
It's been almost 5 days that I've been reworking my new portfolio in React. Previously I made it very simple with just HTML, CSS, & JavaScript for animations. Now that I am almost done, I was thinking about my future projects and what should I do. I'm still exploring ideas and thought it would be great to share some of my favorite project suggestions with you 💡
As junior developers without work experience, it's essential to have a portfolio that highlights our coding capabilities, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Here my ideas:
1.E-commerce Site 🛍:
A simple online store with product listings, cart functionality, and a checkout page. This project can start very simple and naturally it can evolve even further with integrating user authentication, payment systems etc.
2.Modern UI/UX Website 🎨:
This is something I am actually thinking about very actively. A modern UI/UX website project enables our understanding of layout, typography, color theory, and other essential design principles. Besides that it lets us express our unique style and create a strong personal brand. Also, it is a great way to evolve and step up our creativity by using libraries like Framer Motion.
3.Website Clones 🔍:
Now, that is a challenge😅 By replicating the design and functionality of these well-known sites, I strongly believe that is a valuable experience in understanding complex web applications. Analyzing the user interface, navigation flow, and features of the original website, is a great way to enhance our technical proficiency, attention to detail, and, problem-solving.
4.Premium Landing Page 🎫:
A premium landing page is a standalone web page designed specifically for a marketing or promotional campaign with the goal of driving conversions, such as promoting a product or service, or encouraging users to take a specific action (e.g., sign up, download, purchase).
It is a great way to learn how to use high-quality graphics, professional photography, minimalist layouts, and eye-catching design elements to capture the attention of visitors and guide them toward the desired action.
It is a great opportunity to learn also how to create elements such as social proof (testimonials, reviews), trust indicators (security badges, guarantees) etc.
Now If you think that your passion is more towards Web Applications, some good ideas can include:
1) Weather Application
2) AI-based Application
3) Chat Application
4) Travel Application
And that includes my ideas. If you have any more project ideas or suggestions on building a strong junior developer portfolio, please share them in the comments below, i would be really happy to explore more options! 🎉
Happy Coding! 😸
