I'm in the process of building my own website/portfolio and luckily saw this article!

I'm using Gatsby.js with GitHub Pages. Gatsby uses React, and is supposedly very quick to load.

I was looking into Gatsby.js but I went with HTML 5 UP. Let me know how Gatsby is, I know a lot of other people who use it and have recommended it.

In my most recent post, Creating A Personal Website/Portfolio I talk about how I started my website using HTML 5 UP. It provides you a pretty cool HTML template if you don't want to write it on your own. Also there are probably a ton of other tools out there for making a simple site, so if you come across any cool ones then let me know!
