Portfolio Theme is a lightweight, responsive single-page portfolio template for developers, built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and designed for zero-config deployment on GitHub Pages.
What is Portfolio Theme?
Portfolio Theme is a minimal portfolio template created by SAIF ALI that turns your personal details—name, title, favicon, bio, and social media links—into a clean, functional personal website. The template consists of an index.html file along with CSS and JavaScript assets, so there is no build step or framework to install. You can run it on any static web host, and the repository includes a live demo hosted on Vercel at saifahmed2004.vercel.app.
