How I Built & Promoted My Portfolio

A complete journey from coding to going live

🚀 Getting Started

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

💻 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 "BORG 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.

📢 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!

💡 Lessons Learned

📌 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!
