@matthiasott very little information and a few cool tricks. But it is colourful. I really like simple websites that still have a lot of character, so that’s what I went with. I don’t even link to side projects… probably not the best idea tbh
@matthiasott my home page is focused on my professional activity. I have a short bio, a What I Do section, and latest blogs section. I wanted this to act as a one pager about me.The #KirbyCMS is perfect to build fast websites. https://danielprindii.com
@matthiasott My site is a portfolio so the home page is basically filled with my work. I limit this to 10 projects as it gives a good overview of my style.
There's more info in the About menu, including a Personal User Manual, /Uses, FAQ, and a links page (linktree style).
The page that I update more often is /timeline - I'm definitely no blogger lol.
@matthiasott Although I have an inactive blog site as well, I prefer my portfolio site as my personal home on web. It’s nice to collect my favourite brand design work, especially logos in one place:
@matthiasott Everything I've ever made for the web is at https://invisiblespiders.com
My current homepage is just microblogs and a list of all the media I've consumed.
@matthiasott My site's landing page has a relatively brief "About Me" description, plus links to "featured sections" and recent or featured blog posts: https://www.ryanpatrickrandall.com
I used to have a much, much longer "About Me" section, but I recently was inspired to massively trim it down by looking at @kissane & @dansinker 's sites.
@matthiasott I re-worked mine a bit recently: it's got a brief about me blurb at the top, my status from omg.lol's API, my last played track, a featured post section (3 of the posts marked featured are chosen at random at build time) and a recent posts section.
@matthiasott My homepage is a half-finished vector illustration of my name, my last 8 posts, and my active side projects. I felt like my writing and side projects were the thing I wanted to emphasize most.
@matthiasott I have an intro that explains the name of the site, a brief description about me and what the site is about, and then an overview of related links, including my latest blog posts. https://distinctivequality.com
@matthiasott links to all of the notes on the site. I read somewhere that pagination is pointless if you have a static site and are not making requests to a database, thought “oh yeah fair point” and put them ALL there. Has a nice side effect of being able to just cmd/ctrl+F to search the titles.
@matthiasott Without getting too existential here: I don’t enjoy being in the spotlight and my site reflects that. I don’t write for recognition, I write to serve myself and others. So the prominent list of blog posts is a very deliberate design decision.
@matthiasott A short first person bio, so that people looking for me online can get an idea of what I do and used to do, where to contact me, then my texts (things I write), and objects (things I make).
