Rodrigo Yokota's Landing Page - https://yokota.dev

This landing page was made possible with the incredible design work of Guyllian, be sure to check out her amazing work.

The Dream

I have a dream of becoming the most famous Rodrigo Yokota of Google Search. This landing page is the beginning of the achievement of this dream. It is unbelievably hard to do so seeing that the first place is held today by a great artist with a bunch of published and admired work. How can an introverted Software Engineer compete with that?

The Tools

To develop this simple webpage I used React with ChakraUI for styling. To boilerplate it all I used Next.js. My domain was bought on Google Domains which made some things easier and faster. I left it all hosted on Vercel which has some automated workflows for the build and deploy.

Simple reasons for those choices:

  • React: a library that I am most familiar with
  • Next.js: it really is blazing fast and already has the settings I needed
  • ChakraUI: it is quite easy and fast to get started and has an amazing API for responsiveness
  • Vercel: Easy and fast deploy solution for a Next.js app that has a lot of built-in tools to help SEO
  • Google Domains: I already had other domains on it and the UI feels pretty simple and intuitive

Feel free to send suggestions or questions about this tiny little project.
