Personal Blog ✍🏻
A custom-designed personal blog created to reflect a unique voice, personality, and storytelling style. This project was crafted with special attention to aesthetics, readability, and a smooth, engaging user experience.
Built on WordPress, the site goes far beyond a typical setup. With extensive hands-on experience, I implement a wide range of advanced tweaks, optimizations, and low-level performance techniques that eliminate unnecessary bloat and dramatically reduce page weight.
The result is a lightweight, elegant website that loads instantly and feels as fast and responsive as a static HTML build - while still offering the full flexibility of a content management system.
Highlights:
Fully custom UI design tailored to a personal brand
Clean, expressive, and content-focused layout
Advanced WordPress optimization (custom tweaks & performance techniques)
Ultra-fast loading speed and minimal footprint
Mobile-first, fully responsive design
Simple and intuitive content management.

Amazing job Dmitri!

For this project, I explored a softer visual direction with dreamy pink and lilac tones, frosted glass, and floral imagery to create a calming experience that feels warm and personal.
Great concept with soft colors ❤️🎉

Having a great WordPress site means nothing if nobody finds it on Google. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟱 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗘𝗢 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀:
Leaving default permalinks as plain IDs.
Ignoring Image Alt Tags and compression.
Missing XML Sitemaps in Google Search Console.
Having multiple H1 tags per page.
Not setting canonical URLs.

Good list. I'd add a 6th: the "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" box under Settings → Reading. It often stays ticked after a staging launch and adds noindex to every page. Small note on #4: multiple H1s aren't a problem on their own for Google; a clear heading structure matters more.
