How To Create a Portfolio Website

Step 1) Add HTML:

Example

<div class="main">

<h1>MYLOGO.COM</h1>
<hr>

<h2>PORTFOLIO</h2>
<p>Resize the browser window to see the responsive effect.</p>


<div class="row">
<div class="column">
    <div class="content">
      <img src="mountains.jpg" alt="Mountains" style="width:100%">
      <h3>My Work</h3>
      <p>Lorem ipsum..</p>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="column">
    <div class="content">
      <img src="lights.jpg" alt="Lights" style="width:100%">
      <h3>My Work</h3>
      <p>Lorem ipsum..</p>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="column">
    <div class="content">
      <img src="nature.jpg" alt="Nature" style="width:100%">
      <h3>My Work</h3>
      <p>Lorem ipsum..</p>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="column">
    <div class="content">
      <img src="mountains.jpg" alt="Mountains" style="width:100%">
      <h3>My Work</h3>
      <p>Lorem ipsum..</p>
    </div>
</div>
</div>

<div class="content">
<img src="bear.jpg" alt="Bear" style="width:100%">
<h3>Some Other Work</h3>
<p>Lorem ipsum..</p>
</div>


</div>

Step 2) Add CSS:

Example

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
padding: 20px;
font-family: Arial;
}

/* Center website */
.main {
  max-width: 1000px;
  margin: auto;
}

h1 {
  font-size: 50px;
  word-break: break-all;
}

.row {
margin: 8px -16px;
}

/* Add padding BETWEEN each column (if you want) */
.row,
.row > .column {
  padding: 8px;
}

/* Create four equal columns that floats next to each other */
.column {
  float: left;
  width: 25%;
}

/* Clear floats after rows */
.row:after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

/* Content */
.content {
background-color: white;
padding: 10px;
}

/* Responsive layout - makes a two column-layout instead of four columns */
@media screen and (max-width: 900px) {
  .column {
    width: 50%;
  }
}

/* Responsive layout - makes the two columns stack on top of each other instead of next to each other */
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .column {
    width: 100%;
  }
}
