Really great work Cameron. I like the design, color palette and content. Moreover it loads quite quickly.

In terms of improvements, I would suggest the following:

  • run a Lighthouse test in Chrome. Most of the metrics are really good except accessibility. With three quick fix you will be able to enhance this score. It notably detects some text color contrasts which can be improved in terms of readability, it is also picky about the ordering of the title elements (h6 sorted/used before h3) and asking for a lang attribute on the page html

  • most images can be compressed a bit more. doing so you would even get a bit more performance. for such purpose I can suggest the use of compressor.io/. You can just drag and drop your images and it gives you back compressed images without much loosing quality, my go to handy tool for such quick process

Again, pretty cool portfolio, well done 👍

Thanks, David! I will run lighthouse and get my site to have better numbers. As far as image compression, they seem to load fast enough that I would be okay not doing that. I might consider it if it is a bigger problem on slower networks. More testing with the dev tools for me!

My pleasure. Speaking of images, another quick win, which just popped in my mind, would be to set these as lazy loaded.

Have fun 🤟
