Feedback on my website

Heya, I'm currently trying to build up my website. I've been trying to post more regularly this year, and I've started fleshing out the content more in terms of projects.

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback as I'm not a designer.

Please feel free to share your own websites, or work you're proud of. It'd be great to get some inspiration, and celebrate the magic work you do!

Thanks! I'm trying to keep JS usage to a minimum. It's only used on the homepage.

Looks very nice! What did you use? React?

Very kind of you to say! I'm using Hugo (gohugo.io/) to build a static site. All the content lives in markdown files.

I want to know the answer to this question for just about every site I visit. I've fallen in love with the Wappalyzer Chrome extension, it is quite good at determining the technologies used on any given webpage. It's also open-source, which just makes it even better.

Well your website looks pretty neat, simple and straightforward. Everything works, there are no broken links and all the pages load up nicely so great job on that mate!

Thanks, Alex! I really like the layout of your site and how one section leads to the other with the different backgrounds. Very succinct.

Nice font and colors, focused on Material Design or not?

Cheers, Thomas. It wasn't on my mind at the time, but now that you mention it I see some similarities!

The nitpickier the better haha. Thanks for that, and the kind words, Wesley, I'll address that in a future update!

The homepage header effect looks awesome!

Overall, super clean. Just a few personal opinions:

• The blade below the homepage header, where it lists "Front-End," "Back-End," and "JavaScript" feels a little underdeveloped. Maybe add some lines between each paragraph to give it a more defined, organized look.

• The other pages could use a little more flavor, they feel a little bland to me. Maybe add some pink highlights to the title's of each page, color the text, underline it with pink - Something like that to help make it a little less basic (especially since the homepage title/header is super sick!)

• Add a "Home" option to the page-menu in the top right corner, some people (old people) might not know to click the logo in the top left to get back to the homepage.

Again, take these with a grain of salt, they're just my stuck-up suggestions lol. Overall it looks really good man 🤘😤🤘

Excellent points, thanks for taking the time to give some feedback! I totally agree about the touchpoints, it's been bugging me as well.

I've added a home link, and I'll work on the other feedback for the next version.

Thanks for taking the time to help, Gage!
