2023 redesign of my personal site, with more of a photography focus

Primary LanguageTypeScript

Personal Portfolio (2023)

Remaking my personal portfolio site. Hoping to establish a more creative focus, putting my photography on the forefront. Looking to establish a simpler design, that combines retro 2000s website elements with modern responsive design principles.

Goals:

  • Homepage with rotating images
  • Improve Google Photos API to cache results for quicker & better looking loading (options include a github action to manage API and store in repo, or implement caching thru Next.js, or both)
  • Implement an overall design language that fits better with my goals
  • Port over the most important info from old site, while consolidating and simplifying
  • Consider a new CMS that fits better with the project. Contentful was a bit clunky for me.

Technologies used

  • Next.JS
  • React
  • Vercel deployment
  • Rest API's using Next.js api routes
  • Google Photos
  • A to be determined CMS
