Good to Consider….

Lesson 3 – Portfolio Design v1

Tips Found while researching for this assignment

Ask these questions

  • Is there a clear call-to-action button for others to quickly learn about you?
  • Is there any confusing part in the website layout?
  • Is your copy too wordy?
  • Does the site take a long time to load? Slow loading time is equivalent to being late for an interview and should be avoided by all means.
  • Does the webpage show the core issues that users care about, or is it just a collection of unorganized achievements meaningless to the user?
  • Can the webpage be loaded and displayed normally on mobile?

Programming Languages, like Python, have been around for a long time and become a standard language used by developers. One of my favorite programming languages is JavaScript, in which makes up 95% of all websites and is, by far, the most commonly used and basic of front-end programming languages to develop web applications. The knowledge and to be fluent in Javascript, also means knowing of NPM (Node Package Manager), it allows for developers to share and reuse javascript code. Another interesting piece of on the rise is Google’s open-source programming language, Golang.

Frameworks are apart of the layout of javascript.

JavaScript Frameworks A new React-based framework for static site generation that is taking the web development world by storm and its called GatsbyJS and uses Agility CMS is a headless CMS and free. CSS Libraries and Frameworks

As a front-end development the CSS libraries may just be your best friend. Bulma and Tailwinds are said to be a way to speed up your design process because they provide lots of layout ideas. Bootstrap is pretty neat, it’s a platform for building website or web-based app.

Web Components are a semi new technology that may rewrite how we think about reusable web technologies. Web Components are a set of web platform APIs. They are similar to the building components in libraries like React or Angular.

Web hosting is moving fast with no end in sight. The two hosting companies, Netlify and JAMstack, have become very popular in web development. Netlify is a web hosting infrastructure and automation technology company that provides next-generation web hosting and automation that’s very affordable. They also offer web hosting infrastructure for JAMstack websites, born for a need of websites to be fast.
