My first portfolio created on Holiday
How I Got Started with My First Portfolio
Welcome to my first blog post (and my first completed project)!
This website, which you are currently viewing, is the result of an intensive course from IT-Networks. I was always drawn to the idea of creating something truly my own. The course provided me with a solid foundation to turn this idea into a reality.
The Foundations That Make the Whole
During the creation process, I strictly adhered to the basic building blocks of the web:
- HTML: I used it to create the structure of the page – navigation, project sections, and the contact form. I realized the importance of semantics and the correct use of tags (
<header>,<section>,<footer>). - CSS: Styling was the fun yet challenging part. This is where I learned how to truly bring a design to life. I worked with Flexbox and Grid for responsive layouts, ensuring the portfolio looks great on both mobile and desktop. The goal was to create a clean and minimalist design that would allow my projects to stand out.
The Biggest Challenges and Lessons Learned
The greatest challenge for me was understanding the complete workflow – from the first line of code to the final deployment.
- Responsive Design: Ensuring the layout didn’t break on various devices required a lot of testing and fine-tuning with Media Queries.
- Code Organization: The course emphasized the importance of well-structured and commented code. This is something that will definitely help me with future, more complex projects.
What’s Next?
This website is just the beginning. I plan to continuously improve it:
- Add more projects as soon as I complete them.
- Learn JavaScript to add interactive elements.
- Experiment with more advanced CSS techniques and animations.
Thank you to IT-Networks for a great start! I hope you like my portfolio, and I welcome any feedback.
Stay tuned for future projects!
