🎨 3. Styling with CSS (style.css)

/* Reset and General Styles */
* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}

body {
    color: #333;
    background: #f9f9f9;
    text-align: center;
}

/* Header */
header {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    padding: 15px 30px;
    background: #333;
    color: white;
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    top: 0;
}

header nav ul {
    list-style: none;
    display: flex;
}

header nav ul li {
    margin: 0 10px;
}

header nav ul li a {
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
}

/* Hero Section */
.hero {
    background: url('assets/images/hero.jpg') no-repeat center center/cover;
    height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    color: white;
}

/* Portfolio Grid */
.portfolio-grid {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));
    gap: 15px;
    padding: 20px;
}

.portfolio-item img {
    width: 100%;
    border-radius: 8px;
    transition: 0.3s;
}

.portfolio-item img:hover {
    transform: scale(1.05);
}

/* Contact Form */
form {
    max-width: 400px;
    margin: auto;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
}

input, textarea {
    margin: 10px 0;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    border-radius: 5px;
}

button {
    background: #333;
    color: white;
    padding: 10px;
    cursor: pointer;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 5px;
}

button:hover {
    background: #555;
}

🖥 4. JavaScript Functionality (script.js)

🔹 Smooth Scrolling

document.querySelectorAll("nav ul li a").forEach(anchor => {
    anchor.addEventListener("click", function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        document.querySelector(this.getAttribute("href")).scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });
    });
});

🔹 Contact Form Validation

document.getElementById("contactForm").addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    let name = document.getElementById("name").value;
    let email = document.getElementById("email").value;
    let message = document.getElementById("message").value;
    let formStatus = document.getElementById("formStatus");

    if (name.length < 3) {
        formStatus.textContent = "Name must be at least 3 characters.";
        return;
    }

    if (!email.includes("@")) {
        formStatus.textContent = "Enter a valid email.";
        return;
    }

    if (message.length < 10) {
        formStatus.textContent = "Message must be at least 10 characters.";
        return;
    }

    formStatus.textContent = "Message sent successfully!";
    formStatus.style.color = "green";

    // Reset form fields
    document.getElementById("contactForm").reset();
});

🚀 5. Enhancements & Future Improvements

✔ Add animations using CSS animations or GSAP.
✔ Implement dark mode toggle using JavaScript.
✔ Use AJAX to submit form data without reloading the page.

🎯 Conclusion

By the end of this project, you will have a fully responsive portfolio website that showcases your work, provides contact options, and offers a smooth user experience. 🚀
