Do You Have Your Own Website/Portfolio?

I'm in progress of making one for me.

Hi, Yes I have a website and I built it in a week, Designed and then converted that to WordPress using elementor builder.

codewithghazi.com

I do! It started as a single page with a fun image and a couple of sentences about who I am. Then I added an about page, and a contact page. After that, I added a portfolio with some of my best projects on it.

Then I removed everything but the image and a couple of sentences about who I am. I realized my portfolio was tragically out of date and I was never going to find the energy to update my projects 😂

I swap out the sentences about once a year now. Here's where I landed 🤷‍♂️

I started mine recently. I have been thinking to do it for so long but every time I have some excuse/reason to not start it... At first I was thinking of making everything from scratch but after all I wanted to focus on writing and sharing my knowledge so I end up using a very minimalistic theme and built the site on top of it. I wanted to launch it as quickly as possible and incrementally build over it. It took a little more than a week to get it live. I have made some adjustments and improvements here and there afterwards. Maybe in the future I am going to redesign it all by myself.

The site is at belev.dev

Hey Jeannie 👋

I was too in the similar state few months back and looked for inspiration and finally built my first ever portfolio site.
You can read my blog here on the journey of building it. It was fun and it took lot of going through several Dev portfolio sites for small inspirations. Hope this helps u.

How I built my first portfolio website using just Angular

Yes...check my bio. 😍

Yes, I do have my own website. I work as a freelancer and know how important it is to have a presentation of yourself. But even if you are working within a company I would create a minimalistic one with a blog on it. If you are changing your job or looking for a job a website can be an advantage for you to present yourself.

I started with writing down what I want to archive and whom I want to have on my site. Not that everybody else shouldn't visit but I wanted to know my target group. From my target group, I made three personas and wrote down what they could like or dislike. Writing this down as a significant influence on my design and my content.

Then I started to develop it. I wrote a blog post about how I did this:

I didn't create it in one go. I am a friend of progressive enhancement and things change anyway. The only thing a did in one go before I started was to write the initial content. It helped me to get an image of how my site could look like.

If you start your own site, let us know. I am curious 😉

By the way, I am currently migrating my site from Gatsby to eleventy 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

Yep I own a Blog on blog.bajonczak.com ths will be hostet with vuepress and static Website hosting. So it will be fast and looks pretty simple. Adding a new article will be done with markdown.

Very nice I like. But I only use this for bloggin purpose and very unfrequently at the moment.

I'm building remy.world step by step but I published it as soon as I got something readable there. It's kind of the ground rules of getting a project done: don't wait for it to be perfect.
