🌐 Building Your Portfolio

"Show, Don't Just Tell"

A resume tells them you can code. A portfolio proves it.

🛠️ How to Build It (The Right Way)

Build it yourself. It shows you know HTML/CSS/React. * Tech Stack: HTML/CSS (Beginner) or React/Next.js (Advanced). * Hosting: GitHub Pages (Free) or Vercel (Free). * Domain: Buy a domain (e.g., yourname.com) for $10/year using Namecheap. It looks super professional.

Option B: The "No-Code" Way (Fast)

If you are a backend dev and hate CSS. * Bento.me: A link-in-bio style portfolio. Very trendy right now. * Peerlist: A developer-focused professional network. * Notion: You can turn a Notion page into a website.

� Pro Tips

  • Mobile Responsive: Check your site on your phone. If it breaks, fix it. Recruiters use phones.

  • Don't over-engineer: A simple site that loads fast is better than a 3D animated site that crashes the browser.
