Welcome, Mortals is a theatrical static portfolio theme built for GitHub Pages. It wraps a fully practical developer or creative portfolio in a haunted-house aesthetic: dark purple backdrops, pumpkin-orange headings, parchment content surfaces, and playful interactive details including a themed cursor and a surprise spider that drops in when visitors least expect it. The theme ships with eleven ready-to-use HTML pages covering every standard portfolio section — homepage, bio, projects, work history, skills, articles, writing, case studies, testimonials, and contact — so you can focus on replacing content rather than building structure.

Get started

1

Download or fork the theme

Grab the source from GitHub and extract the files so index.html sits at the root of your repository.
2

Replace placeholder content

Update index.html with your name and headline, then work through each .html file to add your real projects, skills, and contact details.
3

Enable GitHub Pages

In your repository’s Settings → Pages, set the source to main / /(root) and save.
4

Visit your live site

Navigate to https://<your-username>.github.io/<your-repo-name>/ — the theme is live and ready to share.
Keep the .nojekyll file at the repository root alongside index.html. It tells GitHub Pages to serve your files directly without Jekyll processing, which is required for this theme’s assets to load correctly.
