Portfolio Hover Follow Buttons

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

Portfolio hover follow layout with custom-styled project titles displayed as pill-shaped buttons that change color on hover.

The Problem It Solves

The default Portfolio Hover Follow layout is functional but visually plain. This technique transforms project titles into stylish interactive buttons with rounded corners and hover color changes.

Perfect For

Creative portfolios, Photography showcases, Design agencies, Art galleries, Project case studies.

What Makes This Different

CSS targets nth-child selectors to style all portfolio items except the first (which typically shows the preview image). Border radius creates pill shapes, and hover states apply background color changes for visual feedback.
