One day I decided to develop a website from scratch and after many iterations, here it is...
It's honestly just a hobby/learning experience for me, but it has provided some wonderfully utility throughout the years.
I sectioned my site into six main pages:
- Landing: good summary of the following four subpages, simple catch all with highlights
- About: just a little bit about me, kind of a random assortment of my likes and interests
- Portfolio: a few of the personal projects I'm most proud of
- Blog: some mindless thoughts and wanderings
- Travel: a travel blog with pictures and maps of the major places I've been to
- Contact: links to my accounts around the web and social media (fair warning I rarely use social media...)
For those interested, it is a static website that utilizes preprocessing to minimize development time.
