My Portfolio!
This entire site was made and designed by me, starting in 2024. I wanted to make it stand out amidst the millions of portfolio pages I’ve seen, (Everyone says that though). I went on a slightly unorthodox route to build it.
- This site runs on Drupal 11 with the Solo Theme, (And some HEAVY configuration tweaks!)
- I developed it locally, then exported it to a static set of pages and media.
- This way, I avoided uptime costs for a database while keeping my favorite CMS framework at the center of what I do.
I love how the block and node structures work in Drupal, and I wanted a dynamic development process that I was already heavily familiar with. So, I decided to go on the Drupal route. It’s a little overkill for a portfolio, but I have enough work that makes it easier to sort this way.
I also wanted to make it less fancy because with AI, anyone can now make their HTML look sleek. The downside to AI websites is that they all look the same no matter how sleek they are; you can always tell. So, I wanted something that showed I still care about web design enough to set up this Drupal site and personally write about my work.
