After 4 months of coding, crying, and three drafts later, I can’t believe I’m almost done this project. At the beginning i was intimidated and had no idea where to begin. I remember at first being frustrated because most of the stuff wasn’t taught to us by the previous tutorials. I couple of times I almost completely gave up. But after talking to a couple of fellow campers and seeing what they did and following their advice, I’m here today showing off my almost finished product!
So before you take a look there’s a couple of final things I’m working on fixing/implementing:
When you click an element on the nav bar, sometimes a part of the web page flashes for a split second. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Add a description when you hover over a project.
So here it is My Website!. Any critical feedback, comments and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in Advance!
I’m on mobile so I won’t try to get into the implementation details of your second point, but I had a similar issue when animating my portfolio. Adding -webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d; to the offending element helped resolve the issue. I haven’t looked at your code, so we might not have had the same problem, but try putting it in the element that blinks and see if it goes after this fix.
The site still looks very nice in its present state and I hope you can get your final draft out soon!
The site looks great! Your post is really inspiring, I’m about to start on my portfolio and I’m feeling intimidated and unprepared, but your post made me feel better about starting!
Thanks @runsf! The hardest part is the beginning and getting over that initial barrier, but when you start to solve every little problem and see the finished product, it’s an amazing feeling!
I managed to recreate the problem actually, and I don’t think it’s the same issue. The navbar is really buggy for me actually, I get flashes of a section and get forced back to the previous one repeatedly. Note that I’m on mobile, so that might be part of the issue.
I’ll look into the code and see if I can help when I’m on my laptop. Sorry that I couldn’t help.
Btw, you’re not too far, you might consider going to a Toronto Coffee n’ Code event one day. There’s some great people there that will be happy to help you and motivate you along the way. I had the pleasure of attending twice while I was in Canada last month and I’m glad I went. Check it out if you can.
Thanks @GitCoderr! And i went to a Coffee n Code event near my area and it was great! But i should also go to the Toronto one, thanks for the suggestion
Hey! Your project is awesome. I love that smooth scroll when you click on a link and it takes you there! I am thinking of incorporating that into my own portfolio.
By the way though. The link to your previous project (the Tribute Page) seems to be dead. Is that deliberate?
Your website looks great! I am agonising over my own at the moment. Regarding the smooth scroll flash, I found out that if you add “return false” to the click handler it solves the problem. The conflict is the browser and then jQuery both jumping to the anchor.
