When creating a portfolio site I value a lot linking to personal articles and projects. I don't really value the aesthetic of the site that much, and that's why I wouldn't really use a css framework like Bootstrap, Bulma etc. Instead I would go with something custom made, like I would take the base of one framework and I would just add some classes that I would probably need for that minimum styling that I'm trying to achieve.

So I would use:

  • Jekyll (as my static site generator)
  • PureCss (only the Base and Grid parts)
  • Git and Github
  • Netlify (Vercel works too)

I'm currently learning Svelte so I would replace Jekyll with SvelteKit for learning purposes.
