In plain English

Simplefolio is a ready-made portfolio website template designed for developers who want a professional online presence without building a site from scratch. It is a single-page layout built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, styled using Bootstrap and custom SCSS. The template includes five sections: a hero section at the top with a headline and call-to-action button, an about section for a profile photo and short biography, a projects section to showcase past work with images and links, a contact section with a button that opens an email client, and a footer with social media icons. Reveal animations trigger as the visitor scrolls down the page. To use it, you clone the repository, install dependencies with Node.js and NPM, and run a local development server. Customization involves editing a single HTML file to replace placeholder content with your own name, bio, project details, and links. Project images and a resume PDF go into the assets folder. Colors and styles can be adjusted through the SCSS files. The project uses Parcel as its build tool, which bundles and optimizes the files for production. Deployment is straightforward: after building, the output folder can be uploaded to any static hosting service. Simplefolio is aimed at developers who want a clean, minimal site without complex frameworks or configuration. The README walks through each section step by step with code snippets showing exactly which parts of the HTML to modify. No design skills or framework knowledge beyond basic HTML editing is required to get a working result. A live demo is linked in the repository for anyone who wants to see the finished template before setting it up.
