Your CV on your domain

In this blog post we are going to download and install a bootstrap template on the hosting of MijnHostingPartner.nl. A bootstrap template is an easy way to quickly set up your website with some knowledge of HTML and CSS. You don't have to reinvent the wheel to build your beautiful portfolio website or your CV. There are a lot of free and paid bootstrap templates available on various sites. However, we always recommend using reliable and well-known sources. In this blog post, we are going to set up a resume website. The website we use to get the template from is:

https://startbootstrap.com/template-categories/all/

On this website you have a lot of open source templates that you may use for both business and personal purposes. We choose to set up a portfolio website with the Resume theme. First step is to download the template and upload it to the wwwroot of your hosting space. This can be done with an FTP client like FileZilla. As long as you have put all the files in the wwwroot then there is not much you can do wrong. Just don't forget to remove the default.htm from us!

Editing the template

Once you have placed the files you can test it by going to your domain name. If you have done this correctly you will see your bare template here. But how do we edit it? This can be done with almost any text editor that can open html files. We are proponents of the KISS rule. Or Keep it simple stupid. That is why we always recommend the text editors SciTe and Notepad++. These are two extensive yet simple tools to work with files on your hosting. If you open the Index.html in your text editor you will see the headers and pieces of text that can be changed. Here we change the header and the profile picture with your chosen text editor. The profile.jpg can be changed to your own profile picture in the media folder.

After this you can refresh the page to see your website. If you open the console with F12 you can also see exactly which element you need. What we also see here is that we get another 404 on the woff2 file. This can be solved by adding the MIME type for this. This can be done through the control panel in the following way. It is best to get rid of such messages. This has a negative impact on your loading time and SEO or ranking in Google. With these tips, you can easily edit your bootstrap website so that you have a resume online in no time. We wish you a lot of success with your job hunt!
