Thanks, much for taking a look, I appreciate your time. It looks like I have a few fit and finish things to get done.
Glad to help, and good job on the new site 👍
I wonder why everyone uses React and other complicated stuff for their simple static portfolio :) How about a simple html file or even a static page generator which is pure HTML and CSS with a touch of JS?
Anyway you need some extra stuff there it's kind of boring. Home and About should be merged into one page IMO.
Thanks for the feedback, I used React to get some more experience with it. I have definitely used different methods as you say, wordpress, end templates, simple html and css. I think that using different techniques is helpful for showing a potential employer yes I have coded something in technology-x. You know I haven't put much on there in a while so maybe it's time to refresh it as you suggest. Thanks much.
That makes sense. But also think about over-engineering :) I'd rather develop some little web apps like todo list, shopping cart demo etc. to showcase some technology. Rather than using it for a simple static page for no reason.
With JavaScript disabled, no text is shown, not even a static "hi, I'm John Bull" or something. Please use the
<noscript>tag wisely.Huh,
Weird, I am not sure I've come across that before, I will look into it thanks for taking a look.
I double-checked: There is a
<noscript>tag, but uBlock seems to ignore it. Hmm.However, it states "JavaScript is required" - for no good technical reason. :-)
I think your portfolio site is great, though a small profile picture on the home page would make it look even better. I know u got a picture on your about page.
Thanks, that's good advice. I think I have a photo of me talking at a meetup that might be cool.
Optimize your images. The website itself is 5MB, but for what? You are using huge images and you are display them in 200x200. Fix 'em :)
