Overview
About Prologue
A compact single-page portfolio with a fixed sidebar profile and smooth-scrolling sections for intro, work, about and contact.
A self-hosted, CC BY 3.0-licensed build from HTML5 UP, Prologue is organised into 6 clearly-named sections — from sidebar profile through to the footer — so a polished design becomes a production build without guesswork. It holds together from a single column on mobile up to a structured multi-column composition on desktop.

Design system
Colour, type & spacing
Prologue runs on a restrained system: a neutral base — white, off-white and near-black — with #5a9bd4 carried through for emphasis and calls to action. It ships as HTML / CSS / JS, so recolouring or restyling is a matter of editing one stylesheet.
Who it’s for
Reach for Prologue when you’re building for designers, makers and freelancers. It’s a credible, conversion-minded starting point — enough structure to look considered on day one, and flexible enough to grow into your own brand.
Customising
Open the HTML / CSS / JS stylesheet to shift the brand colour and typography, then swap in your own copy and imagery. Check it at desktop, tablet and mobile from the Preview screen before you ship.
