I have always ignored having a portfolio website for a long time. It's very important to have one though especially if you are a freelancer.
One of the questions you will get from potential clients every time you approach them is, "Do you have a portfolio?" or "Can you share some of the related projects you have done before?"
Having a portfolio is a simple and great way to showcase your skills, interests and projects you have worked on before. Therefore I decided to create one using pure HTML, CSS & JavaScript and I would like your feedback on what you think about it.
Tell me, what amazes you? What should I change? Should I create a YouTube tutorial showing you how to create it?
Here is the link to the portfolio: https://chaoocharles.netlify.app/
Also, Help me reach 5k subscribers on my YouTube Channel
Your feedback will be highly appreciated.
Always stay awesome 💙

thanks
why i feel so oldist here, im 30 and still in learning basic js
Wow;🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Haha, age is not a problem. You can pick up coding at any age as long as you have the passion.
☝️☝️☝️ Truth, I work with several devs who transitioned to programming after 30, it's more than possible
I didn't start until I was 30. You got this.
Yeah sure 😊🚀
I'm still 17🌝
Started learning a year ago
Keep learning and creating stuff🚀 You got this 💙
Do not feel lonely. im 30 too, and started learning a year ago. You can do it !!!

I'm 39, and i started to learn... 2 weeks ago... i feel you...
Nice;
Checkout mine hemant.codes
But this website is under development and soon adding darkmode
If you really want control over your website, you'd rather do it from scratch. An "easy" way to do this is by use of css variables and a little bit of javascript. Here's a great guide from Ananya Neogi
OR you could check out darkmode.js
I have taken a look, it's a good one
Thank you❤️;
Hey is there any easier way to add darkmode to website?
Initially I will have to use conditions in js in my css script for changing color, but is there better way then this?
Create two themes(css styling) and toggle them with a button click
Yes, this is a good idea but it is going a tough deal for me to implement is there any blog or documentation for darkmode?
See how easy it is: w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_toggl...
There's a media query to check if the user has chosen to use dark mode. And you should respect that choice designing your UI.
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
/* CSS Code when dark mode active */
}
As always with new features don't forget to check on caniuse.com for browser compatibility.
Wow, thank you for this!
Check
medium.com/@katiemctigue/how-to-cr...
It is how Katie Mctigue implemented in her portfolio website in here: katiemctigue.com/
I'm also currently working on my portfolio website implementing the same idea
It's still in development but hey kindly check out: ponnex.dev
This is great! I love the addition of dark mode, it's very on trend for 2020. For your portfolio images, I would suggest showing images of the real projects and not stand in images. Otherwise I love the colors, I love the animation.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. I really appreciate 💙
Great portfolio! I have to get mine up and running 😅
I would recommend that your CTAs in the beginning have hierarchy established. Especially for potential clients coming to your portfolio, they want to see your work/projects first rather than getting in touch before knowing you! Similarly, the colours of the buttons could be different colours, maybe one that’s more subdued (I.e ghost button, or something less bright than the blue-green) than the most important button.
Great stuff!
Thank you so much for your recommendation, I will consider. Also I'm so happy that you liked and I inspired you
I like the overall look and feel, but I'm mobile and I have just 2 nitpicks on the way it shows up on my phone
That's all, good work
Thank you for the remarks. I'll consider them 😊
Nice work up there. Love the minimalistic approach. I also made my portfolio by simple HTML, css and Javascript.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. You can also share your portfolio here if It's online.

Here, we go.
Its an old one. Hence, archived.
Wow! I like the typing effect 💙
Not a knock against you but it's funny how in 2020 creating a portfolio with only vanilla tech is worthy of awe and praise from the heavens.
Nice work.
Haha, it's because people are used to frameworks and libraries. Thanks buddy
Hi! Your portfolio looks awesome. I too have been avoiding the creation of a portfolio but I’m also considering freelancing as a side gig. I’d love to see tutorial on how to create one. Thank you in advance!
Thank you 💙. I'll drop a tutorial on my YouTube channel before the end of the week.
Hi, Chaoo.
In your project: github.com/chaoocharles/sppms
There's an unnecessary file added to the repository, I mean temporary MS Word file
"~$OJECT REPORT.docx" file.
I would suggest to remove it from the repository, here's how: stackoverflow.com/a/2047477/12576990
And use .gitignore in your project, to prevent this issue later.
Thank you so much for this man. I really appreciate. I totally forgot to exclude them
