How to create a Portfolio Gallery using HTML and CSS ?

Last Updated : 20 Dec, 2019

To create a portfolio gallery we will need only HTML and CSS. We can use JavaScript also but in this article, limits are set so we will use HTML and CSS only. Divide the whole article into two different sections in the 1st section, we will create the structure for the portfolio gallery and in the second section, we will make sure the gallery looks attractive. The portfolio gallery is useful when your website contains different types of content or so many contents. With the help of a portfolio gallery, you can easily display all the contents in your front page to the user.

Creating Structure: In this section, we will create the basic website structure of the portfolio. Here, we will attach the title attribute so the user can know what will be the content type on each gird of the portfolio.

HTML code: In this section, we will design the basic structure of Portfolio Gallery.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
   
<head> 
    <title>

                        HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup 
                        Language. It is used to design web 
                        pages using markup language. HTML 
                        is the combination of Hypertext and 
                        Markup language. Hypertext defines 
                        the link between the web pages.

                        you to apply styles to web pages.

Designing Structure: In the previous section, we have created the structure of the basic website and now we are going to use CSS to design the structure of web-page.

CSS code:

<style> 
      
    /* wildcard styling */
    * { 
        box-sizing: border-box; 
    } 
      
    /* padding for whole body */
    body { 
        padding: 15px; 
    } 
      
    /* styling body */
    .container { 
        max-width: 1200px; 
        margin: auto; 
    } 
      
    h1 { 
        color: green; 
    } 
      
    /* anchor tag decoration */
    a { 
        text-decoration: none; 
        color: #5673C8; 
    } 
      
    a:hover { 
        color: lightblue; 
    } 
      
    /* paragraph tga decoration */
    p { 
        display: -webkit-box; 
        -webkit-box-orient: vertical; 
        -webkit-line-clamp: 4; 
        overflow: hidden; 
 
    } 
      
    /* row and column decoration */
    .row { 
        margin: 0px -18px; 
        padding: 8px; 
    } 
      
    .row > .column { 
        padding: 6px; 
    } 
      
    .column { 
        float: left; 
        width: 25%; 
    } 
      
    .row:after { 
        content: ""; 
        display: table; 
        clear: both; 
    } 
      
    /* content decoration */
    .content { 
        background-color: white; 
        padding: 10px; 
        border: 1px solid gray; 
    } 
      
    /* window size 850 width set */
    @media screen and (max-width: 850px) { 
        .column { 
            width: 50%; 
        } 
    } 
 
    /* window size 400 width set */
    @media screen and (max-width: 400px) { 
        .column { 
            width: 100%; 
        } 
    } 
</style> 

Combining the HTML and CSS Code: Combining both HTML and CSS section code to make a complete Portfolio Gallery.
