What you will submit

A live URL to your deployed, responsive portfolio website.

What to do, step by step

  1. Design a simple layout for your personal portfolio website. Think about what sections you'll need (e.g., About Me, My Projects, Contact). You can sketch it on paper first!
  2. Using HTML and CSS, build the structure and style of your portfolio. Make sure it looks good on both a small phone screen (like an Infinix or Tecno) and a larger laptop screen. Use your creativity with colours and fonts!
  3. Add at least two of your best projects from this Skillnaija course to your portfolio. For each project, include a short description and a link to its live demo or GitHub repository.
  4. Implement a simple 'Contact Me' section with a form (even if it doesn't send emails yet) or your social media links (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.).
  5. Deploy your finished portfolio website to a free hosting service (like Netlify or Vercel). Ensure the link is publicly accessible.

You need 70% overall to pass. A failed submission comes back with feedback and can be revised and resubmitted.

Before you submit: make your link public

If your work lives in Google Drive or Google Docs, open Share → General access and change “Restricted” to “Anyone with the link” (Viewer). Then paste the link into a private browser window: if it opens without sign-in, you are ready. A private link cannot be graded — it is the single most common reason a good project fails.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to finish Frontend Web Development before submitting the project?

Yes. The submission screen opens once every lesson in Frontend Web Development is marked complete. The lessons are where the methods, the Nigerian context and the worked examples the project depends on are taught.

How is the project graded?

An examiner scores each rubric criterion from 0 to 100 and weights them as shown on this page; you need 70% overall to pass. Most submissions are graded within minutes and you get written feedback on what was strong and what to improve.

Can I resubmit if I fail?

Yes. A failed project comes back with feedback; revise the weak parts and resubmit. A passed project is final — the certificate is issued and cannot be re-rolled.

What do I actually submit?

A write-up of what you did (under 5,000 characters) plus a public link to your work — a Google Drive folder, Google Doc, spreadsheet, GitHub repository or video. The link must open without sign-in; a private link cannot be graded. The free project workbook on this page walks you through all 5 steps.

Is the certificate real?

Yes. Passing this project issues a certificate with a unique verification code. Anyone — an employer, a client, a school — can open the verification page and see that the certificate is genuine and which project earned it.
