Is this portfolio ok?

Hello friends, 3 months ago I begin my adventure in the world of web development. My aim is a Front End Web Developer. I wanted to create my portfolio from scratch, without bootstrap, just my skills and some jQuery plugins.

This is my website: http://blankworld.altervista.org

My question is as follows, is this ok as a portfolio? can I use it to present my works to a future employer? Is this level of skills ok for 3 months of self-study?

Thanks,

Keep it up and happy coding,

its pretty cool, especially the animated picture of yourself. It has a simple and effective layout. :-)

First Impression: Impressive Graphic Design skills for the picture, the layout leaves some to be desired mainly in the something about me section and the list under it.

I like the hover on the nav.

The skills look nice but if I was interviewing you what on earth does 80% HTML mean? Nothing. Instead just list that you know it, if they want to know how well they will look at your work and ask you questions.

Not a fan of the home icon I would prefer just a nav item labeled home (Personal opinion).

Put a tiny bit of padding under the copyright at the bottom.

All in all not a bad site but you can always improve.
