This repository contains a simple portfolio website implemented with vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. My aim with this project was to learn front-end development with the basic web technologies, before delving deeper into more advanced development frameworks. Furthermore, I wanted to do this project to learn how a simple website can be constructed from scratch.
The topic I learned the most about during this project was probably CSS. For example, I learned how to use the flexbox layout model and formed a basic understanding of the grid layout as well. Additionally, I learned what must be done to achieve a responsive website design.
Furthermore, I improved my HTML skills, learned about creating dynamic functionality into a website with JS scripts, and understood the basics of choosing good website colors and their ratio.
