How to create a digital portfolio or personal website in FlutterFlow?

Creating a digital portfolio or personal website using FlutterFlow is a great way to establish a professional online presence. Here is a comprehensive tutorial.

Step 1: Sign Up for an Account on FlutterFlow

Start by visiting the FlutterFlow website and click on the 'Sign Up' button.

Enter your personal details including your email address, a password, and then click on the 'Sign Up' button.

You will receive a verification mail. Click on the link in the mail to activate your account.

Step 2: Create a New Project in FlutterFlow

After you have signed in, navigate to your dashboard on FlutterFlow. Click on the '+ Create' button and select 'New Project'.

The site will ask you for a project name, type in a name that relates to your portfolio.

Step 3: Select a Template or Blank Design

FlutterFlow provides an opportunity to either select a pre-designed template or start from scratch. For the sake of this tutorial, we will select a template. Click on your preferred template to proceed.

Step 4: Customize Your Selected Template

After selecting your template, details of the project will be generated. The project screen will appear divided into three main sections - the canvas, components section, and the styling section.

• The Canvas: This is where you will visualize what your website will look like.
• Components: You find this section on the left-hand side of the screen. It contains all components you can use - buttons, images, text field, etc.
• Styling Section: On the right-side panel, there are options to adjust the component styles such as text color, font size, alignment, etc.

Step 5: Adding Components on Your Page

Dragging and dropping tools from the component section onto the canvas allows you to adjust the layout of your website.

To add images or text, navigate to the "Components" section, select the appropriate tool, then drag and drop it on the desired location on your canvas.

Step 6: Customize Your Components

Click on your placed component to select it. The styling panel will be updated, showing customization options associated with the selected item.

For instance, if you select a text box, you can edit the text, its font, font size, orientation, and color.

Step 7: Add More Pages and Navigation

To add more pages, click on the "Go to Page" button up in the navigation top bar.

Once you've added new pages, you can set navigation through the pre-existing tab bar or you can add a navigation bar and set actions to navigate to your newly created pages.

Step 8: Preview Your Website

On the top bar in the FlutterFlow interface, click on the "Preview" option. This feature allows you to see how the project looks before exporting it.

Step 9: Export Your Project

Once you are satisfied with your website setup and design, export your project. You can export it as a Flutter project by clicking on the "Export" button from the top bar menu and then "FlutterWeb". After downloading the released project, you are able to publish it on both iOS and Android or any hosting provider that supports static site hosting.

With these steps, you now have a basic understanding of how to create a digital portfolio or personal website in FlutterFlow.
