To code a website that scrolls horizontally was not an easy one. Figuring out different ways to approach the code was a very interesting and learning experience, had to restart the code at least 3 times to reach a layout that didn’t break. To incorporate Jekyll for the initial was difficult as the initial solution did not work out. But incorporating Jekyll helped improve code modularity. Also I tried incorporating data in different ways, in the data folder, on the html page, to learn and also look back at this code for reference. \r\nImage quality and size was also something I initially struggled with, to make sure it would not overflow, the image was clear and also was less than 150KB. \r\n\r\nJekyll really helped accelerate coding once the initial layout was setup. Using SEO to improve search results was extremely helpful and use of Microdata made the website SEO friendly. \r\nHaving portfolio critiques along the way, really helped in designing a website that is accessible and easy to use.\r\n\r\nThe design of the portfolio was to experiment and also understand user behaviour and actions. It was an extension of my personality, I felt, to try and experiment, new ideas and concepts, understand what works and doesn’t, to provide a refreshing portfolio while making sure the the website was simple and straightforward. Through multiple iterations, user testing (you and fellow classmates), the final website is a representation of my personality, accessible, responsive and user friendly. \r\n\r\nWhile working on this project, we were simultaneously working on the Netlify CMS as well, I think incorporating that will also help with this project. As the layout is already setup, just adding more projects using Netlify might save time. The data files have been setup as markdown files, having comments to understand the naming convention immediately might help. Also I would have liked to have used collections, now that I have a better understanding of how collections and posts work.\r\n\r\nThis portfolio project, was a very challenging but extremely rewarding experience, in terms of learning and understanding\tnew concepts like Jekyll, SEO and horizontal scrolling websites."}}
