What I liked:

  • Loads almost instantly.
  • Resume type of portfolio. Pretty unique.
  • Your image and position to introduce yourself.
  • The font looks clean.
  • Good for responsive screens.

Some ideas I would consider:

  • The dark brown background is not the best you can get for contrast for the white font. I would try some darker shades.
  • Set the section titles (Experience, Subscribe, and The latest) the same size as your name is at the top. They each start new sections and therefore need to be more highlighted.
  • Try to give some different colors for links you use, rather than white, to give more accents to your site. Do the same for the subscribe button, as well. Set them all to the Red you use. Or step outside and use some bright green or blue.
  • I would remove the background color you use for 1 Thing A Week panel. If you, by all means, want to keep it, set it to a way darker color, so it goes well together with the background, and use it on the Experience and Subscribe blocks too. Leave both Intro paragraphs and 'More from' as they are.
  • The emojis you use would look better if you would use them in native colors. They would look especially good on the darker color background as I noted in #1.

Thank you for the feedback, I have one question though, is your device set to show dark mode? I wonder if any of the feedback around colours changes when viewed in light mode instead?

Some good points you raise I will definitely look at making some changes based on your feedback. Thank you for taking the time to review my site!

I guess you are using something like this since you ask. Yup, my OS is currently on dark mode. πŸŒ™

You are welcome, hopefully, you find great use of something πŸ˜‰

There’s no toggle, it just uses your system preference to decide. Your feedback made me think about it differently though... I should look at it in dark mode more often!

Yeah I know πŸ˜‰ That particular hook uses your system preference to decide as well, that's why I referenced it πŸ˜‰ I see, you are mostly on light mode and see light mode in your portfolio as well πŸ˜€
