3-Page Portfolio HTML Build

I’d like a clean, minimalist three-page site built with plain HTML and CSS to serve as my personal portfolio. The entire focus is on showcasing my Projects, so the layout should draw attention to project thumbnails or brief summaries that link to their individual pages.

Here’s how I picture it coming together:

• index.html – a simple landing page with a short intro line and a clear call-to-action that leads visitors straight to the projects.
• projects.html – a grid or list presenting each project thumbnail/title with space for a short description.
• one reusable project-detail page (or template) – allowing me to drop in images, code snippets, or demo links for each project.

Everything should be responsive, lightweight, and free of external frameworks; vanilla HTML5, CSS3 (Flexbox or CSS Grid), and a touch of JS only if it keeps the experience smooth. No heavy animations—subtle transitions are fine.

Deliverables:
1. Three fully coded HTML files.
2. A single, well-commented CSS file.
3. Any placeholder assets and a brief read-me showing where to replace content.

Once the files drop into my hosting folder they should run without extra setup. If questions pop up while you work, just let me know so we can keep the build tight and minimal.
