Share your portfolio if you want feedback! (CLOSED)

So I decided to take a bit of a break from coding this afternoon, to relax my mind and create a discussion, where you could share your portfolios and I could give some feedback on what I like and some ideas to improve it.

Keep in mind that these would all be subjective, and coming from an average user. Sorry in advance if I don't reply to someone.

Share your link below, excited to see what you have come up with!

Hi @madza , you have thoroughly analyzed the portfolios of people and given a quality feedback. My friend @shunjid created his portfolio and asked me to review it and I loved it. But can you please check it once and give the feedback?

I like the minimalistic approach.

  • Change the terminal background to some dark tone, not completely black, but like some very dark grey to simulate the look of an actual terminal.
  • Make social media icons bigger.
  • Remove the name from the terminal top and place it under your image, increase the font size of it a lot, and set the text color the same as you use in the terminal background in #1.

Thakyou so much for this detailed review. I will work on the mentioned points. I also wanted to add more content to the page like project details, and my art, without breaking the minimalism but I don't have any ideas. Please help

Overall I like the site, looks very clean and gives great UX.

  • Remove that animation in the Hero area. If you want to display your roles, display them as static text in the same dark grey.
  • Remove the social media buttons from the sidebar. You already use them in the Hero area.
  • Avoid the skills percentages. It's not possible to measure them anyways.
  • The blue used in the Timeline should be the same as in the other sections.
  • There is a typo on the resume title.

Glad you liked it. Have been working on it for weeks. My main goal for designing my own portfolio is to show of my backend skills by making it versatile.. my idea is If I wanna add any new section instead of going through html .. I will add a new section from admin panel ( yups there is an admin panel ).. kind of similar thing CMS.

And, I appreciate suggestion you have given will implement them. Also, What should I replace skill percentages with? Stars? Or maybe score out of 10..?

The thing I suggested to avoid the percentages is you will be asked in the interviews how did you measure them and why it is 65%, not 73%, for example. Also, I've seen some devs rating some of their skills as 100%, which means they know everything in that tech, which is impossible.

Stars are not great for that either. You don't have to rate your knowledge. That's the interviewer's part.
Simply listing them is enough for the most part.

And if you still want some visuals for the skills, you can add the visual icons of the tech you know πŸ˜‰

Not the first time I've come across this portfolio. And I like it.

  • Fix each and every page on Dark mode loads through white flash.
  • Try to find a better shade of that grey for Design & Code
  • Also change that background color for Projects to some darker shade, closer to the main background.
  • The same as above for Footer.
  • Use the white font for Projects text

Thanks in advanced! I’m about to do a bit of a redesign/restructure soon, so any feedback before then is much appreciated.

  • View resume button should be more highlighted, use some bright green or blue.
  • Increase the font size of the text of the landing page.
  • Remove the section above Footer. You don't need two footers one above the other. Built with info is enough.
  • Add title and description for projects without the need to click on them.
