Building a personal portfolio website is a valuable skill for web developers. With HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap, you can create an attractive, responsive, and functional website to showcase your talent or services.

In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of building a responsive portfolio website that includes key sections such as Home, Skills, Portfolio, About Us, Curriculum Vitae (CV), Contact Us Form, and Footer.

The Home section will feature a navigation bar, a background image, descriptive text, and a call-to-action button. In the skills section, visually appealing cards will display your skills and expertise. The Portfolio section will showcase your accomplished projects using captivating image cards.

The About Us section will present your achievements in a vertical timeline format, highlighting your professional journey. The Curriculum Vitae (CV) section will showcase essential personal and professional details in a resume format.

The Contact Us section will feature a contact form with fields for email, username, phone number, and message, and finally, the Footer section will feature a copyright message and some social media buttons.

Steps For Creating Responsive Portfolio Website in Bootstrap

To create a responsive personal portfolio website using HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap follow the given steps line by line:

  1. Create a folder. You can name this folder whatever you want, and inside this folder, create the mentioned files.
  2. Create an index.html file. The file name must be index and its extension .html
  3. Create a style.css file. The file name must be style and its extension .css
  4. Download the images folder and put this folder inside the project folder. This folder has all the images that will be used for this portfolio website. But, if you want, you can use your own images.

To start, add the following HTML codes to your index.html file: These codes include all the necessary CDN links, website layout, and different sections. Since we’ve used Bootstrap for the portfolio website, it’s nearly complete here without the need for extensive custom CSS.

Remember, adding your own personal touch by customizing the website with your unique details and requirements can greatly enhance its overall appeal.
