Matthew McGrath's Personal Portfolio
About This Project
This is my personal portfolio! Here I will showcase my skills and completed works as a web developer.
I will gradually add content to my portfolio until I finish my first design in its entirety. For my first design, I will go for a very minimal, clean look. It will include only the bare essentials (a short introduction, a showcase of some projects, and a contact form). I will avoid including anything too fancy, such as 3D design aspects or fancy transitions. I will, however, try to include a few micro-interactions.
My goal with a minimal design as my first draft is to both get the minimal-viable-product of the portfolio out as fast as possible, as well as to determine if a minimal look is actually the best approach. It is, after all, a visually-pleasing design trend! I'm just a bit worried that not enough personality will shine through with such an approach, or not enough of my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills will be put into action.
Tools Used
Since I wanted to keep my portfolio simple and fast, I decided to use vanilla HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of JavaScript. Perhaps if I see the need for it, I will use React or Next.js in a future iteration.
