Keep the page readable without CSS or JavaScript.<\/p>\n<h2>What you will learn<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Explain the purpose of html final project: portfolio in a real website.<\/li>\n<li>Read and adapt a working example instead of memorizing syntax.<\/li>\n<li>Test your result and recognize a common implementation mistake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Understanding the concept<\/h2>\n<p>Plan sections before coding: introduction, projects, skills, contact and accessible navigation.<\/p>\n<p>HTML is a markup language, not a programming language. Tags describe meaning and structure. Prefer meaningful elements over generic divs when a semantic element exists.<\/p>\n<p>This topic is part of the HTML learning track. Read the example carefully, identify each important element or statement, and try changing one part at a time. Small experiments help you see cause and effect.<\/p>\n<h2>Example 1: Working code<\/h2>\n<pre class=\"dl-tutorial-code\"><code>&lt;header&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Alex \u2014 Web Developer&lt;\/h1&gt;&lt;\/header&gt;\n&lt;nav&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#projects&quot;&gt;Projects&lt;\/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;#contact&quot;&gt;Contact&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/nav&gt;\n&lt;main&gt;\n  &lt;section id=&quot;projects&quot;&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Projects&lt;\/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Portfolio site&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;&lt;\/section&gt;\n  &lt;section id=&quot;contact&quot;&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Contact&lt;\/h2&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:hello@example.com&quot;&gt;Email me&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/section&gt;\n&lt;\/main&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Save the example as <code>index.html<\/code> and open it in a browser. View Source to compare the markup with what the browser displays.<\/p>\n<h2>How to understand this example<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Identify the syntax introduced by this lesson.<\/li>\n<li>Read the code from top to bottom and predict what it will do.<\/li>\n<li>Run the code, then compare the result with your prediction.<\/li>\n<li>Change one value, selector, or element and run it again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Example 2: A small experiment<\/h2>\n<pre class=\"dl-tutorial-code\"><code>&lt;!-- Experiment: HTML Final Project: Portfolio --&gt;\n&lt;section aria-label=&quot;Practice area&quot;&gt;\n  &lt;h2&gt;Practice 20&lt;\/h2&gt;\n  &lt;p&gt;Change this content and reload your browser.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;\/section&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This second example is a practice scaffold. It is not a replacement for the main example; combine the ideas to make a small working page or script.<\/p>\n<h2>Common mistakes and best practices<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Check nesting carefully: close tags in the reverse order you open them.<\/li>\n<li>Open the file in a browser and inspect the page with Developer Tools.<\/li>\n<li>Do not copy examples without understanding the result; inspect and test them.<\/li>\n<li>Prefer clear, descriptive names and simple code over unnecessary complexity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Hands-on exercise<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Your task:<\/strong> Build a complete one-page portfolio with at least four sections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extra challenge:<\/strong> Improve the example for a real DevLearn student portfolio or small business website.

The relevant part depends on your change; test by running the code and inspecting the result using the browser and its developer tools.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<h2>Next steps<\/h2>\n<p>Complete the exercise without copying the solution.
