How I Built & Promoted My Portfolio

A complete journey from coding to going live

πŸš€ Getting Started

I began with a simple idea β€” to showcase my coding and design work to the world. I planned out the structure: Home, Projects, Experience, Skills, Contact, and Blog.

πŸ’» Writing Code

Using HTML and CSS as my base, I added interactivity with JavaScript. I made it responsive, mobile-friendly, and used custom animations. I used VS Code as my main editor and hosted projects with Firebase.

🎨 Design & Branding

For the visuals, I used Figma to plan the layout and Adobe Photoshop for logo design. The color palette and fonts were carefully picked to match the β€œBORG DEV” identity.

🌐 Hosting with Firebase

After testing everything, I deployed my site using Firebase Hosting. It was simple, fast, and reliable. The live version went online at borgdevweb.web.app.

πŸ“’ Promotion

I promoted my site on Instagram, YouTube, Dev.to , Reddit , Linkedin. I even created reels and Shorts to showcase parts of my site and my creative work. It helped me get views and feedback!

πŸ’‘ Lessons Learned

πŸ“Œ Conclusion

It was an amazing learning experience. I got better at HTML, CSS, JS, design tools, and learned how to deploy and promote a real-world project. I can’t wait to improve this even more!
