I like the way Dan Mall styles his text, paragraphs, ordered lists 👏, and links. Let's try that! |

Repeat to self: it doesn't have to be perfect just better than what's there now | it doesn't have to be perfect just better than what's there now | it doesn't have to be perfect just better than what's there now | it doesn't have to be perfect just better than what's there now | it doesn't have to be perfect just better than what's there now | it doesn't have to be perfect just better than wha |
To keep with the 'sketchy' theme, I introduced a handwritten font and nuked the mono font. I've been simmering on this for a few days and now that I finally tried it out... I really dig it. I'm not sure about this particular font, but Google Webfonts is limited in this style. What I'd really dig is Born Ready from Fonts.com or Creative Market. I should buy that. |
Ewwww, actually not a fan of Born Ready as a web font. Doesn't look great for titles and totally breaks down on small sizes. It's also REALLY BIG (1 Well... maybe I can use Born Ready for my site logo 🤷♀️ |
Portfolio items are cool for now. They are well written and representative of the kind of work I like doing. ✅ Primary goal. Though I wonder if I can make the layout a little more interesting. Design by Roka has a similar but still simple layout options. I like the "second" column and even changing the background color of some of the sections (although that's the sorta marketing-y thing I'm trying to get away from). Still, there's some good ideas in designs like this. My current status 👇 |
Don’t flex them directly
There is nothing left preventing me from merging this and launching the redesign, nothing except fear. Because huge launches never go smoothly, even when (looks up at the sky) Well... it's never going to be "the perfect time to launch"... so here goes nothing... |
I'm joining Joel Glovier and Josh Hynes in documenting my site refresh in a pull request.

Related: I also need a new deploy story since FTPloy basically stopped working. Oh maybe it's coming back? Deploy HQ is another option. Whatever, don't need to figure this out yet. I'm willing to change hosts if someone makes this easier on me.
