How to Build an Effective Frontend Portfolio
summary
Explains a concrete portfolio structure: about work and contact as the three essentials, with a recommended minimum of three projects (but notes one strong project has landed jobs). Shows portfolios built with plain HTML/CSS, VS Code and version control, or WordPress/themes; deploy options include Netlify, GitHub Pages and Heroku; uses Formspree for contact forms. Advises linking live demos and GitHub, adding a photo, screenshots or client logos, and iterating — one week bootstrap project proved sufficient to get hired.
