Design a website

“my first site was raw, unstyled html, with various lists of my favorite things inexplicably presented in the third person ‍♂️ at the time, twelve-year-old me wanted to be a programmer, but as i started working on apps and websites, i realized i had more of an affinity for design. my design skills soon started to play catch-up, and evolved to care about things like typography, spacing, accessibility, performance, and personality. the second image is where i'm at now. much unlike my first site, i designed it all in Sketch before i jumped into VSCode to build it out. since i already had the design in place, i was able to focus on structure and polish, and i ended up with my first (perfect) Lighthouse score of 100%.”

“For the rest of the site I used the top navigation bar (found on almost every website) and played around until I was happy with the design. Though I ended up tweaking things here and there anyway when I came to implement it properly. [...] I had originally planned to have the blog posts go full width across the browser window. However, I made this decision while using a 13" MacBook Pro as my main computer. In the interim, between deciding that and implementing it, I switched to using a desktop computer with extra wide screen monitor and reconsidered my earlier position.”
