Minimal Portfolio CSS template example: Ana Ribeiro, a product designer

What is minimal portfolio?

A minimal portfolio lets the work speak. One sentence about what you do, a small note on whether you are available, three strong case studies, a short work history and a way to reach you.

The layout is a single narrow column, which reads well on any screen. Case study cards have a gentle hover, and the contact line is big enough that nobody misses it.

Good for

Product and UX designers
Developers and writers
Freelancers of any kind
Job applications and personal sites

What you get in this template

Serif intro line with one soft accent
Green availability dot
Case study cards with year and one line result
Experience list with dates and places
Large contact line with email link

The key CSS

This is the part that makes the minimal portfolio look work. Copy it into your own project.

.w { max-width: 860px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 24px; }
h1 { font-family: Newsreader, serif; font-size: clamp(2rem, 5vw, 3.2rem); max-width: 22ch; }
.cs .img { aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; border-radius: 12px; transition: transform .35s; }
.cs:hover .img { transform: scale(.985); }
.row { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 140px 1fr auto; border-top: 1px solid #e5e4de; }
