What You'll Learn

In this video, we’ll cover:

• How to set up the project structure from scratch
• Creating a clean and functional header section
• Designing an eye-catching hero section with HTML and CSS

Detailed Breakdown

Setting Up the Project Structure

We start by creating a new project folder and setting up our HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. A well-organized folder structure is crucial for keeping everything tidy and easy to navigate.

Creating the Header Section

Next up, we design the header section. This includes building a navigation bar with links to various sections of your portfolio such as Home, About, Projects, and Contact. A good header sets the tone for the rest of your site.

Designing the Hero Section

Once the header is in place, we move on to the hero section. This part of the site is all about making a great first impression. We’ll create a welcoming headline, a short description about you or your work, and a call-to-action button to guide visitors to your projects.
