Hi guys, i am currently working towards the front end development course. I want to create my portfolio containing different websites which will allow me to show my skills and also practice my skills as i learn more new stuff. Any advise on what sort of sites i can create or what do i need to do to create my portfolio?

You and I are in the same boat. The advice that I was given, which I am currently working on, was to build two things to start off. The first being an informative website. So there is nothing fancy about it, just logging visitors and what not, but it's something to hit the ground running with front end work. The next site is "my" bio website, in which I'll display things about myself, what I like to do, and show case my portfolio, too include things that I would ordinarily leave out of my linkedIn profile/etc... (which I am to build as well). I have heard this kind of kickstart build from a few different places, and is just something I am doing, that I thought I'd share you.

3,101 PointsThanks for your advise jack. I can make an informative website however to get the visitor login part working you need to learn php or some other server side language. Please do share if you come across any samples or examples for making portfolio.
