Use a HTML-CSS-Bootstrap free template


For my Django portfolio, I chose not to focus on the frontend development aspect. Instead, I opted to use a pre-existing HTML-CSS-Bootstrap free template. This template was sourced from the internet, downloaded, and integrated into my Django project.

Key points about the implementation:

    • The template was originally a single index.html file with Bootstrap styling.
    • I separated the template into multiple files to adapt it to my Django project structure.
    • The HTML content was moved into a Django template file.
    • The CSS and JavaScript files were placed in the static folder of my Django project.
    • I configured Django to serve the static files correctly in settings.py.

By using this existing template, I was able to quickly set up a visually appealing frontend for my portfolio site while focusing my development efforts on the backend functionality and Django-specific features. This approach allowed me to leverage the strengths of both pre-built templates and Django's powerful framework capabilities.
