A Full Stack web developer based in London,UK.
I use LAMP/LEMP stack and main tools WordPress, VueJS, Laravel, Bootstrap/UIKIT.
Recently started writing about stuff i know,or stuff i am learning.
Hi Dan, short answer is dont use any CSS framework!
When I wanted to build my portfolio website, I went through many iterations, I've used Bootstrap,the later changed it to UI KIT.
Then i decided to go no framework, which is the best option in my opinion, as a junior looking for your next job you need somehow to proove your skills,and no framework would be the best way to do it. Also make sure you dont forget that It doesn't need to be perfect
Thanks for the advice, sounds like a good plan! It will definitely challenge me to not rely on a framework and it'll be interesting to see what I can make from scratch. Looking forward to giving it a go. 😁
Absolutely great advice. Learning the fundamentals is far more valuable than specializing in a framework. By doing so you will gain a deeper understanding of a framework's mechanics and your knowledge will allow you to manipulate it further.
I was building a friend's portfolio and he asked for this very bare bones layout that there was no clearer way about it than to use HTML/CSS and nothing quite like it that I could copy and paste.... Ended up being far more of a learning experience than I could have predicted. Glad to see that's a valid way to prove one's skills. Is there anything else I'm not taking away from what you were getting at?
