How to create a CV using HTML and host in GitHub ?
In today's digital age, having an online presence is crucial, especially when it comes to professional endeavors. One effective way to showcase your skills, experiences, and accomplishments is by creating a compelling curriculum vitae (CV). In this article, we are going to build a CV using HTML, and CSS. Later, we will host it on GitHub, a popular platform for version control and code hosting. So let's dive in and unlock the power of HTML and GitHub to craft a standout CV that truly represents your capabilities and accomplishments.
Approach
- Link CSS in the HTML head section, creating a structured layout for the resume using div blocks.
- Utilize five div blocks within the left section for Image, Contact, Skills, Language & Hobbies, populating each with relevant data.
- Incorporate five div blocks within the right section for Name, Summary, Experience, Education & Project, utilizing list and table elements.
- Apply class names like (.left) and (.right) in the CSS file for background color and positioning, ensuring a cohesive design.
- Implement the display flex property in the body and grid for the entire page layout, optimizing responsiveness and visual appeal.
Example: In this example code, we are using the above approach.
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"
content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport"
