The Portfolio HTMLs folder is a standalone, offline HTML/CSS/JS system for Waukee APEX student-associates. No build tools, no backend — everything runs in the browser with localStorage for persistence.

**Key files:**
- `APEX_Professional_Dashboard.html` — central hub linking to all other tools
- `APEX_Professional_Portfolio.html` — portfolio evidence tracker
- `APEX_Review_Prep.html` — performance review preparation tool
- `Standard1.html` through `Standard5.html` — one page per APEX standard
- `Video Production Playbook.html`, `Social Media Playbook.html`, `Marketing Analytics Playbook.html` — project workflow guides
- `Project Task Boards.html` — standalone task board
- `APEX Vertical.png` — logo used in nav across all pages

**Design system:** Purple `#500778` primary, lime `#c4d600` secondary/accent. Inter font. All pages share the same fixed top nav (logo + links), white card components, and purple/gold color language.

**Why:** Built for Russ Goerend's DCS (Designing Communication Solutions) class at Waukee APEX. Student-associates use it throughout the semester to document work, track standards, and prepare for performance reviews.

**How to apply:** When editing any file, match the existing design system. All files are self-contained — edits are local only. No git repo.
