Please check my portfolio

Hi all! I'm a beginner web developer and I'm currently looking for a job. I created and launched my portfolio website. This is my first project and I wanted to get comments from the community.

Well done on creating a site! I do think you need to go and look through it a bit more yourself. Navigation becomes white on a white background when going to "about me", for instance. I'm not sure the project cards really work from a design perspective.

In our job you have to think about the user experience, push yourself to see the faults in your own work and this great start can get better.

The site looks clean. But I think you might want to improve some accessibility in color contrast, page navigation and website content. The "portfolio" subtitle (the one's under the bit title "Projects") is so thin and so bright that I totally missed it at first glance. It's not good if text on header zone can be missed, you know. As for the page navigation, I think you forgot to add navigation menu on about.html page. With website content, I can say the heading for each section in about.html page is messed up. The "Backend" heading should be in backend section (the bottom) and vice versa.

Overall, I believe your site is still under construction and it seems to have potential to be a good site. Just pay more attention and be strict qa on it.

Good work so far! A few suggestions:

  • consider accessibility, particularly colour contrast. The light grey on orange background is quite difficult to read

  • Perhaps change the colour of your nav links so they can be easily seen

  • might be good to have consistency on your header and footer position across all pages so they are located in the same place. You could change the colour if you were after a different 'look and feel' for each page but it helps usability if the header and footer are consistently placed

  • don't forget navigation on small screens - when I resize the website the nav disappears on small screens

  • you could push the footer to the bottom of the viewport. At the moment because the content length is short the footer gets pulled up the page. You can find solutions online on how to use flex to achieve this.

Look forward to seeing your final site :)

I think the hover animation on the index page is a little bit snappy. At the moment, the borders flicker when you hover onto the card title, and the object in the card jumps back down when you hover away. Also, I think somebody already mentioned it, but take a look at accessibility standards. It's very hard to see the text in the navbar on your about me page.

Also, think about the content in your about me section. I would recommend having a little bit more "quality over quantity". For instance, WebStorm may be a technology that you've spent months or years mastering, but employers will likely not care what IDE you use. It's also worth being a little bit more specific in what you primarily work with. I'm guessing you don't have years of experience in all of these technologies and languages (and correct me if I'm wrong), but if you aren't 99% proficient in something, I wouldn't list it. But if the job that you're applying for involves that technology or language, you totally should.

All in all though, great job!
