Wowfolio

Wowfolio is a simple and clean portfolio template built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, created by developer Ram Maheshwari for developers who want a lightweight, customizable personal website.

What is Wowfolio?

Wowfolio is a developer portfolio template that runs entirely in the browser with no frameworks, build steps, or server-side dependencies. You take the source files — an HTML page, a CSS stylesheet, and JavaScript for the interactive color tester — and replace the sample content with your own projects and bio. The template’s visual identity is controlled by a single theme-color variable, allowing you to restyle the whole site by editing one line of CSS. It is distributed as a public GitHub repository that has accumulated 574 stars, and it includes a demo GIF showing the final look.

Key Features

• Theme color variable — style.css line 9 defines --themeColor as an RGB triplet (default 29, 161, 242), and every accent color on the page derives from this one variable.
• Built-in color picker — The demo includes an interactive color picker that lets you preview different accent colors live, so you can pick a palette before editing the CSS.
• Vanilla tech stack — Uses only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; no Node modules, no package.json, no build step, making it easy to deploy anywhere static files are served.
• Developer-oriented layout — The structure is designed for a professional developer profile, with placeholders for typical portfolio content.
• Easy local testing — You can load the HTML file directly in a browser to see changes immediately, since there are no dependencies to install.

Who is it for?

• Professional developers who need a clean portfolio site but want to avoid the overhead of a static-site generator or CMS.
• CS students and bootcamp graduates who want to create a first personal website to accompany job applications.
• Freelance programmers looking for a minimal, fast-loading page to show clients and link from their GitHub profile.

What can you do with Wowfolio?

• Set up a portfolio in minutes — Replace the sample project titles and descriptions in the HTML with your own work, then edit the --themeColor variable to match your personal brand.
• Preview design changes instantly — Use the included color-picker utility to try out different accent colors and note the RGB value of your favorite before applying it to the stylesheet.
• Deploy to any static host — Because the template is plain HTML/CSS/JS, you can drop the folder onto GitHub Pages, Netlify, or any web server and go live without configuration.
