Personal Website

https://www.richardjohnbacon.com/

My personal website containing a short bio, portfolio and contact information.

The site is hosted on Netlify, using a custom domain.

Development

The site was built using Gatsby, a React based framework for building websites.

Gatsby was chosen for a number of reasons:

• I had React experience and so wanted to build on that knowledge
• I wanted to build a simple static website
• I wanted to learn more about Gatsby and the JAMStack in general

The process I followed was:

• Setup the project using the Gatsby Setup Wizard
• Replace default starter code and install development dependencies
• Add site metadata using React Helmet
• Create the home page layout and section components
• Add portfolio projects content using markdown
• Refine styling and add media queries for responsive design
• Add pwa and offline support
• Perform accessibility and performance checks using Lighthouse

Built With

• Gatsby
• React
• React Helmet
