Loved your site ๐Ÿฅณ
Just a small thing, when hovering over a link, even though it changes colour, it sometimes feels weird and not sure if it is even a link or not.
So maybe adding an underline or changing the mouse cursor or something like that?

What I liked:

  • The speed of the site.
  • How clean the site is. Dark grey and white have always worked well when it comes to contrast. Your image fits right into the hero area.
  • Animations on load and the ones that show your interests after it has loaded, to make it look interactive.
  • Social links are well placed and with great contrast and I like how they are stuck regardless of a scroll position.
  • Modals to view project, great to get details fast.

Some ideas I would consider:

  • Set the background color to white for your header and increase the z-index so the header is always at the top when on screens around 1000px and scrolling. The same goes for the footer.
  • Set darker top navigation text color, to match the color of your main text in the hero area. I would also bold them, and probably change the font style. I would do the same for the footer text as well in the bottom left.
  • When using media breaks for projects, go from 3-2-1 rather than 3-1 as it is now, somewhere around 580px width, the text on them does not fit.
  • I would build the custom contact form with name, email, message, rather than using 3rd party solution with multiple steps. That way it would be more intuitive, fill up the field you have left for contacts better and users would be more willing to fill it.
  • Also when resizing, you put social media icons and copyright above each other. I would leave them the same size as they are on the desktop version and put proper padding for them, so it goes well with your overall layout of the site.
