Local Development

This project is static HTML/CSS/JS and does not require a build step.

1. Open the repo directory:

   cd /home/runner/work/Portfolio/Portfolio

2. Start a local server:

   python -m http.server 8000

3. Visit: http://localhost:8000

Contact Form Behavior

• The contact form in index.html posts to https://formsubmit.co/ajax/mothilal044@gmail.com.
• If endpoint delivery fails, it falls back to mailto: so inquiries are still captured.
• reCAPTCHA token generation is included and can be validated server-side if a verification endpoint is deployed.

Deployment Notes

• Designed for static hosting (GitHub Pages / Netlify / Vercel / CDN static host).
• CNAME is configured for mothilal.xyz.
• If Kubernetes is used, complete deployment.yaml with ConfigMap/Service/Ingress resources before production use.
