Personal Site Design Considerations


Introduction

[Introduce the site and explain what prompted you to build or redesign it. What do you want visitors to understand about you?]

Why a dual-sided homepage?

Work and life belong together

[Explain why you wanted the site to represent both your professional work and your life outside work. What does work-life balance mean to you personally?]

Two sides, one person

[Describe what belongs on the professional side and what belongs on the life side. Why did you choose two distinct panels instead of a conventional navigation menu or a single long page?]

Interaction and trade-offs

[Describe how the panels expand and what you hope that interaction feels like. What trade-offs did you consider, including small screens, discoverability, and keeping the design easy to use?]

Choosing the tech stack

What I chose

[List the tools and technologies used to build the site. For each, briefly explain what it does in this project.]

Tool or technology How I use it Why I chose it
Astro [Role in the site] [Reason for choosing it]
TypeScript [Role in the site] [Reason for choosing it]
CSS [Role in the site] [Reason for choosing it]
Markdown / content collections [Role in the site] [Reason for choosing it]

What mattered in the decision

[What mattered most when choosing your stack: performance, simplicity, content authoring, learning goals, deployment, or something else? Mention alternatives you considered, if useful.]

What comes next

[Describe the next changes you hope to make. Consider content, projects, photography, accessibility, responsive behavior, performance, or visual refinements.]

Longer-term direction

[What would you like this site to become over time? Which ideas are definite, and which are still experiments?]

Closing thoughts

[Summarize what you learned while designing the site and invite readers to explore or share feedback.]
