Learning aim B: Create and test a digital portfolio
Create Portfolio

With your plans all in place, you can now create your portfolio. Your need:

  • a folder structure to hold the different types of content
  • html web pages (to display the assets)
  • commentaries to introduce and explain the assets.

Make sure that all the assets are in a format suitable for the web. You will need to check the file format and also the size of any images, videos and animations. You may need to change any text that has been created using a word processor so that it displays correctly when formatted in html.

Create the necessary pages for your portfolio using html and other assets; for example, text, images, audio and video.

Copy and paste the template pages for your site by copying the following folder into your portfolio folder:
