Very original design, I really like the palette and the layout you chose! Gj! :)
Just a question: how are you going to implement the SEO? Are you planning to migrate to Next.js or doing it in Gatsby? I am asking because it is the last step that is missing in my website!

Thanks a ton! ❤

I will be sticking with Gatsby unless Next.js provides some significant benefits. I'm still researching on all the steps that I will be performing related to SEO, but here's what I have looked up till now:

  • I am following this guide by Google: support.google.com/webmasters/answ...
    • Eventually, I am planning to host on Netlify and so I will be using their new Sitemap Build Plugin to generate a sitemap and submit. The Gatsby Sitemap plugin is an option too.
  • Configuring a good robots.txt. More information can be found here support.google.com/webmasters/answ...
  • Mark URLs "canonical", Gatsby has a nifty plugin that u can implement here. These are important since if I post my blog to both DEV and my website, google will mark the content on my site as duplicate and won't index it.
  • A thing I have learned to improve my visibility on google is the correct use of Titles and tags. You should subscribe to the Blogging for Devs to learn more about it, as Monica Lent explains those in a very beginner-friendly way!

I will be producing a comprehensive blog post on what steps I performed once I am done with SEO 😁
