English Version. Most homepage mistakes are not aesthetic. They sit in the order things appear, in whether there is any evidence, and in how much upkeep the layout demands.
Anti-pattern 1: the positioning line in paragraph three. A large image takes the first screen. A greeting takes the second.
Anti-pattern 2: work shown without outcomes. Six attractive screenshots and, underneath, "built in Figma". This is the most common of the portfolio mistakes: everything visible made it onto the page, and everything persuasive stayed off it.
Anti-pattern 3: a contact path that costs too much. The most expensive of the personal site errors turns contact into an obstacle. Three versions turn up repeatedly: an email address only, so the visitor composes a message from scratch; a direct message only, so they have to follow you first; or a form asking for five fields before it submits.
The part worth keeping: Move the positioning line to the top. Full write-up is on the source blog.
