My website is up, and it’s turned out pretty much the way I wanted it to.

I “finished” designing it some time in Feb. I even did an implementation of it on MEAN with KeystoneJS for a CMS. Then I got busy with another project, and by the time I came back to this, I’d learned a few things about WordPress. So I threw out that implementation and started again from scratch. The design changed substantially. Content became tighter. Also, I had a clearer vision of where my design career should go.

Here’s a complete list of the languages, tools, templates, services, and technologies I’ve used:

• Inkscape
• GIMP
• HTML5
• CSS3
• SVG
• Javascript
• Sass
• LAMP stack
• WordPress [platform, documentation]
• _s
• Portfolio CPT
• Ubuntu Desktop
• VSCode
• Chrome dev-tools
• Git

My new website showcases the kind of custom website design and development I can do for my clients. It is fast, usable, accessible, responsive, and in my admittedly biased opinion, not too bad to look at 🙂. I learned a lot of things making this and I have about ten draft blog posts lined up to document some of them.

The last thing I designed was the comments section on blog posts. I’d missed it out entirely 😳. Anyway, the website is ready to launch, so here goes! 🚀🍾
