Anyway, my old site was built with ter, a wiki-style site builder. I was initially hooked on its minimal, clean aesthetic and its unique approach to organizing content. Although I had some grievances when trying to customize it later on, I was still quite satisfied with what it offered.
Recently, I came across Segundo Fdez’s site, stunning and minimal, exactly the vibe I was looking for. I was bored, procrastinating studying for an upcoming exam, so on impulse, I decided to rebuild my site using Astro, taking inspiration from his design.
It was fun. Took about 3 days of staying up late into the morning. The hardest part was making it mobile responsive since I originally designed and tested everything on desktop only.
I’m no designer, but I’m happy with how it turned out. I’ll be looking for work soon, so this serves as a good foundation to showcase what I do.
The old site source is still available on GitHub if anyone’s curious. This new one I’m keeping private for now.
New year, new me, new site, I guess.
