Jornes.com V2 | Simple Portfolio Site

Hello!
I recently redesigned my website. No fancy effect for now.
What do you think?

This new look was redesigned with TailwindCSS (WindPress)(I’m new to this). There are still 10% and two more pages to be completed.

Plugins:

  1. BricksUltimate (Adjacent Posts)
  2. Bricksforge (Pro Form & adding some effect later)
  3. ACF Pro
  4. Yabe Webfont (host Google fonts locally)
  5. Happyfiles Pro
  6. SEOPress Pro
  7. WindPress
  8. MaxAddons

I am aware that there must be room for improvement.
Welcome your inputs! :smiley:

It looks great. I take it the move from ZION was successful. We communicated with you on Discord some time ago.)

Hey! @morisbrother, Thank you!
Yes, we did (I remember). Since Stefan behaved in such a manner, I have ceased using Zion.

Beautiful site!

Fonts, colors, and animations are all super smooth. The mega menu might be my favorite. :heart_eyes:

What is your favorite and least favorite part of the site?

The only thing I can find to improve is the placeholder font color in the newsletter section. It could be quite hard for someone with eye problems to read. Maybe darken it by 50% or consider adding labels?

Really great work!

Hi! @DOnuts
Thanks for checking my site out!

I took your advice here and made it darker.

I think my favourite part is the grid layout I implemented on the site, the fonts(font family and the sizes) I use, and the custom-made hamburger icon I made. And also the projects display on this page (Works | Jornes).

Thanks again!

I’ve added an interactive effect to the IG Handle. :grin:
I had this interaction effect since V1, but it stopped working for some reason. Now, I fixed it.

First of all, great job on the website!

I’m just curious, as a beginner, why you’re using the Yabe Webfont plugin for self-hosting your fonts. How is this different from using the built-in Bricks font upload?

Hi! @Gerben, Thank you for checking out my site.

I use Yabe Webfont because the plugin is very convenient. It allows me to select the font that I desire, next is to click import then the font will be bosted locally, that’s it. I don’t need to download the fonts from its source, and then upload them manually to make them hosted locally. Save the hassle. Hope it helps. :blush:

Ah, right! I think I’ve been spoiled, haha.

I’ve been using BricksForge on the first site I’m currently working on, which has a bulk font upload function. So I just use Google Webfonts Helper for a quick download, throw it in the BricksForge bulk upload and that’s it.

Thanks for the quick response!

I prefer Yabe Webfont because it’s more handy for me. Hehe!
