Creating Your Portfolio Website with ChatGPT: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

How to Create a Portfolio Website Using ChatGPT

ChatGPT is the hottest AI topic in recent weeks; everyone shares conversations about it along with insights regarding its ability to write code. While we will not focus on code generation, this tutorial will guide you step-by-step on creating a portfolio website using ChatGPT, including the necessary technologies such as HTML and Bootstrap.

Step 1: Setup the HTML Skeleton

We start by asking ChatGPT to create a basic HTML structure including Bootstrap for responsive design. To ensure its correctness, we will validate the response:

 <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Jane Doe - Beginner AI User</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <style>
      /* Styling for sections */
      .full-height {
        height: 100vh;
      }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

  <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#home">Portfolio</a>
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNav" aria-controls="navbarNav" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
      <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav">
        <ul class="navbar-nav">
            <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#about">About</a></li>
            <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
  </nav>

  <section id="home" class="full-height">
    <div class="container text-center">
      <h1>Welcome to My Portfolio</h1>
      <img src="https://picsum.photos/seed/mountains/800/600" alt="Mountain Image" class="img-fluid">
    </div>
  </section>

  <section id="about" class="full-height">
    <div class="container text-center">
      <h2>About Me</h2>

  </section>

  <section id="contact" class="full-height">
    <div class="container text-center">
      <h2>Contact Me</h2>
      <form>
        <div class="form-group">
          <label for="name">Name</label>
          <input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" required>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
          <label for="email">Email</label>
          <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" required>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
          <label for="message">Message</label>
          <textarea class="form-control" id="message" rows="3" required></textarea>
        </div>
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send Message</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  </section>

  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"></script>

  <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Step 2: Working with ChatGPT

For the title of your portfolio website, you could use something personal and indicative of your stage, such as "Jane Doe - Beginner AI User".

Step 3: Creating the Content

Now let's craft an engaging introduction:

"Welcome! I am Jane Doe, a passionate beginner in the world of artificial intelligence and programming. I invite you to explore my portfolio as I embark on this exciting journey!"

Adding Sections

We need to divide the website into functional sections:

Home
About
Contact

Feature a Stunning Background

Let's finish by adding an appealing gradient background:

body {
  background: linear-gradient(to right, #ff7e5f, #feb47b);
}

Final Result

Check out the final product:

Amazing, right? While ChatGPT can assist significantly in streamlining the process, there’s always space for your own creativity and adjustments!
