Quick Start

Follow these simple steps to customize and launch your portfolio website. No coding knowledge required!

1

Extract the ZIP file

Extract the downloaded ZIP file to your desired location. You'll see a folder named universal-portfolio-kit-v1

2

Open config.js

Open the config.js file in any text editor (Notepad, VS Code, Sublime Text, etc.)

💡 Tip: This is the ONLY file you need to edit. Don't touch HTML, CSS, or JavaScript files!

3

Replace placeholder text

Replace all generic placeholders with your information:

  • • "Your Name" → Your actual name
  • • "Your Brand" → Your brand/company name
  • • "[email protected]" → Your email address
  • • "+1 234 567 8900" → Your phone number
  • • "Your City, Your Country" → Your location
4

Add your images

Replace the placeholder images with your own:

  • • Profile photo → assets/images/
  • • Portfolio project images → assets/images/portfolio/
  • • Logo/favicon → assets/images/

📌 Note: Update image paths in config.js to match your new image filenames

5

Add your CV files (Optional)

You can add CV download buttons to both Hero and About sections. Add your PDF files to assets/documents/ and configure them in config.js

Same CV for both: Use the same file path in both hero.cv.file and about.cv.file

Different CVs: Use different file paths for each section (e.g., short CV in Hero, detailed CV in About)

Hide CV buttons: Set showHeroCV: false or showAboutCV: false in the display section
