My first portfolio

I kicked off this year by creating my portfolio, which showcases my coding journey so far. It highlights my skills and projects in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js, and more. As I start searching for my first developer job, I’d love to hear from fellow developers who have been in this position before.

Live site: https://louise.codes/

GitHub repository: https://github.com/louiseka/portfolio

Questions for you reading this post:

• Is there anything important missing from my portfolio?

• Is it easy to navigate?

• What are your overall thoughts on the site?

Thank you :)

Looking forward to posting more on here!

I think it's really good.

It's immediately friendly and clean, with good use of vertical space and semantic elements.

If I was looking at it with the canny eye of an employer, I'd check out the source, which you link to front-and-centre, and after a quick 2-minute whizz-through, it looks nice and simple. You haven't overengineered anything (which is a massive thing with portfolios earlier in people's careers) and it's readable and looks straightforward to maintain.

I'd add a link to your DEV account along with the Github and LinkedIn links :)

Your portfolio is looking great! Here are a few suggestions that could enhance it even further:

• Consider adding a contact form to make it easier for others to reach out or provide feedback.
• A well-designed favicon with a distinct color can help reinforce your brand identity.

I also checked out your GitHub page and noticed that most projects don’t have a README.md file. A good README helps readers understand your project, provides installation/setup instructions, and even outlines contribution guidelines if the project is open-source. Adding one can make your projects more accessible and engaging for others.

Keep up the great work!
