I built a dev portfolio template that deploys in 5 minutes — here’s how

I’ve rebuilt my developer portfolio more times than I can count. Every time I wanted to update it, I’d end up deep in frameworks, config files, or UI kits. I just wanted something simple that looked clean and worked out of the box. So I made a dark-themed portfolio template that’s just HTML, CSS, and one config file. No frameworks. No setup.

Here’s what it does:

  • Fully responsive

  • Mobile-friendly

  • Edit one file to change your name, skills, projects, and links

  • Deploy to Netlify or Vercel in 5 minutes

I made it for myself, but figured it might help others too.

(Launch price: $5)

If you try it, let me know! I’m planning to add more versions and themes soon. Feedback is always welcome.

Let me know when it’s live — I can help boost it, repost it elsewhere, or prep your second product listing.

Love how you kept it to just HTML and CSS - makes updating way less of a hassle. Are you thinking of adding a light theme option next?

Yep, I just added a light mode option! You can now toggle between light and dark themes with one click. It’s included in the Plus version, along with an alternate font option for a more customized feel. Appreciate any feedback if you check it out

Thinking about adding a light theme version — let me know if that’d be useful.

This is such a practical approach.
