I'm not sure that it's a good idea to use a custom scrollbar for body.
But your website's at least readable.

Hey Christopher, thanks for sharing your website!

Starting off, I really like the feel of your website.
Very light and easy to scan and read.

As others have said, the custom scrollbar can be a bit tricky. Not all browsers support it and there's no standard way of styling it. This means that your scrollbar may look different depending on what device and/or browser the user is using.

The other thing I noticed, is the first thing someone sees when going to your website: the hero

Currently, the copy of your hero doesn't convey a very clear message.
A "dreamer" doesn't really describe what your role/function is.
"building things" can also mean way too much. What do you build? Is there a specific niche you build for?
I'd advise experimenting with the copy your using on the hero of your homepage.

Again, thanks for sharing 😄

Thanks so much! I forgot to respond but I made quite a few changes based on your feedback! I still kept the scroll bar because I like it 😂
