Portfolio Website

This is an online resume and portfolio website designed to help you showcase your skills, experience, and projects effectively. The original design and code for this site were created by [Ade-mir] and have been forked for personal use, with all credit to the original creator.

• LinkedIn Integration: Once configured, you can feature this site on your LinkedIn profile, allowing recruiters to explore your work directly from your profile.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone <repository_url>

2. Navigate to the Project Directory

   cd portfolio-website

3. Run the Website

   • Using Live Server: Open the project in a code editor and start a local server using Live Server.
   • Alternative Methods: Use any other method you prefer to host or view the website locally.

4. Edit Details

   • Open data.json in a text editor.
   • Customize the details (e.g., name, job title, bio, skills, projects).

5. Add to LinkedIn (Optional)

   • Once the website is live, add the link to your LinkedIn profile in the "Featured" section.

Deploying on GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages is an easy way to host your portfolio for free! Here’s how to set it up:

1. Push Your Code to GitHub

   • Make sure your project is on GitHub by pushing it to a new or existing repository.

   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial commit"
   git push origin main

   Replace main with your branch name if you’re using a different branch.

2. Configure GitHub Pages

   • Go to your repository on GitHub.
   • Click on Settings > Pages in the sidebar.
   • In the Source section, select the main branch and, if required, choose the /root folder (not /docs unless your files are in a docs folder).
   • Click Save. GitHub will automatically generate a URL for your website, typically in the format https://your-username.github.io/repository-name.

3. Wait for Deployment

   • GitHub Pages will take a few moments to deploy your website. You can check the status at the top of the Pages settings page, where a green message will appear once it’s live.

4. Access Your Site

   • Visit the URL provided by GitHub Pages to view your live portfolio website!

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Professional Presentation: This site offers a visually appealing way to present your resume and projects, helping you stand out.
• Customizable and Adaptable: Easy to update without deep technical knowledge; just edit a JSON file to update content.
• Portfolio at a Glance: Viewers can quickly see your key projects, skills, and experience, making it ideal for quick reviews.
• Responsive Design: Looks great on any device, ensuring accessibility for viewers on different platforms.

Cons

• Limited Customization for Non-Developers: Users without web development experience may find it challenging to make more advanced customizations.
• Requires Hosting for Full Deployment: While easy to view locally, you’ll need to host the site on a platform (e.g., GitHub Pages, Netlify) to make it accessible online.
• Static Content: Content updates require manual edits, as it lacks a built-in CMS for live updates.

How to Use

1. Edit Content: Open data.json to update your name, skills, projects, and other information.
2. Preview Changes: Use Live Server or another local server to preview changes.
3. Deploy Online: Once you’re satisfied with your content, deploy the site to GitHub Pages, Netlify, or any other hosting platform.
