Competitor Comparisons
Responsive Personal Portfolio Website HTML CSS & JavaScript
Pros of portfolio-responsive-complete
- More visually appealing design with smooth animations and transitions
- Includes a dark/light mode toggle for better user experience
- Offers a skills section with progress bars for visual representation
Cons of portfolio-responsive-complete
- Less customizable without extensive CSS modifications
- Lacks a dedicated projects section, focusing more on services
- May require more effort to adapt for personal use due to specific design choices
Code Comparison
portfolio-responsive-complete:
.nav__logo,
.nav__toggle {
color: var(--title-color);
font-weight: var(--font-medium);
}
.nav__toggle {
font-size: 1.1rem;
cursor: pointer;
}
simplefolio:
.nav-links {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.cta-btn--resume {
color: var(--white-color);
border: 2px solid var(--white-color);
}
Both repositories use CSS variables for consistent styling, but portfolio-responsive-complete employs more specific class naming conventions. simplefolio's code appears more straightforward and easier to customize, while portfolio-responsive-complete's code suggests a more intricate design structure.
