Show HN: My new personal site
I was browsing through Awwwards and a number of articles related to web design this morning and it inspired me to re-make my personal/portfolio site.
I have never made a decent looking theme before, from scratch. I've been primarily in backend developer roles while working professionally and freelancing. I'm looking for any and all feedback! What do you like? What do you dislike? Any tips? Comments? etc...
I am excited to hear back from the community. Please note that I haven't even tried to make this responsive on mobile devices, yet. I plan to do that tomorrow or later tonight if I feel up to it. Anyways, enjoy!

- bitpush 8y agoGreat work! A small improvement that can take you a long way is to expand on your portfolio. Currently it lists 2 "icons". I have to click into it to see what is going on. How about you expand on each? Something like so EDIT: Formatting was weird. See this image https://imgur.com/XZN0Yqj https://imgur.com/XZN0Yqj
- jessehorne 8y agoThank you! I definitely need to improve the portfolio section. I had a few ideas but wanted to deliver a sort of MVP and start there. For example, the two listed "clients" is sort of misleading. I've done a lot of work for BC and need to be able to show the user the details on that. I was thinking I'd center the BC logo and have a slider of sorts under it with 4+ columns of "projects" I did for them. The second client item is, however, just a single site I threw together with WordPress. Anyways, I'm thinking on that! I appreciate your feedback!!
- jessehorne 8y agoI've done a little work today on making the site mobile responsive. If anyone has a mobile device and wants to check it out and provide feedback, I would appreciate it greatly!
