To create my portfolio website I start to follow the guide to creating a site on GitHub here.
At the link you can find just two templates for all types of sites you want.
These are the steps I performed:
- Change all reference to an external link or different person;
- Change photo and all you don’t want on your site;
- Create on GitHub all repository for the site, I don’t use google drive to have in one place all my portfolio and the GitHub repositories have everything you need to show correctly all type of code;
- For the LinkedIn and GitHub bottoms there are many examples on the internet, but to choose the correct position and color, being my first project in HTML was hard.
The contact me section was the hardest part.
Remain between us, but there is still a problem with confirming the submission of the form that I cannot get past.
To collect the submission I follow this guide that permit to save all data on google forms.
In the beginning, I made a notification for all new modify at the google sheet, but to receive the message on my Gmail address is necessary to create a google script embedded on a google form.
If you want you can follow the folder to see the google script and the Html email. The script creates on google form, NB not in the connected sheet, necessity the google permission for send email as you and the activation trigger for the function “sendEmail”. In short words, the script copies the message that arrived from the form and sends an email to you, as the guest sends a direct email. The good point is that all are free and on your “roof”. In the repository google form, there are also two Html templates for the email: the Italian version and the English version.
