Keep growing your career and freelance business with the Jackson personal portfolio website template. Your skills and talent deserve a web presence that attracts clients who need your services, or makes it hard for an employer to say no.

Jackson is a one-page website template with a handy sticky sidebar navigation on the left. The content on the right guides every visitor through your professional offerings and work. Each section is designed to work well on any device. Jackson is quick to edit: remove the elements you don’t need and add your own content.

What’s new in 3.0

• Bootstrap 5.3.8 and plain JavaScript, no jQuery.
• A lighter page: about 2.9 MB and 26 requests before, about 0.9 MB and 22 requests now. Every photo is served as AVIF with a JPEG fallback.
• No third-party requests: the Inter font and a 3 KB icon font with the 20 icons in use are self-hosted.
• Accessibility: a skip link, names on icon-only links and controls, a visible keyboard focus ring, text contrast of at least 4.5:1 in both themes, and “reduce motion” support.
• A working contact form: a PHP handler (php/send-email.php) that validates the fields, blocks mail-header injection and ignores spam bots, with the result shown under the form.
• Fixed: returning visitors who chose dark mode saw the light theme first, and the first hero slide’s heading and button stayed invisible for about 10 seconds after load.
• Sass sources in scss/, one partial per section, and a documented npm run build.
