Like a lot of designers, I find my portfolio one of the hardest projects. There's no deadline, and it can always get better. Anyway, I think I'm happy with this one for a while.
I launched my new Next.js portfolio in 5 days with an average mobile PageSpeed score of 98/100
When someone opens my portfolio on their phone, they’re there to see the work. My challenge was to give the images in each case study room to breathe while keeping the pages fast on a mobile connection.
I built the site in Next.js with help from Claude and deployed it to Vercel. I optimized the images, fonts, and code to reduce load times and added structured data as part of the technical SEO work to help search engines understand the content.
The project took 5 days from start to launch. In PageSpeed Insights, the site averaged 98/100 for mobile performance, scored 100/100 for desktop performance, and earned 100/100 on the SEO audit.
I’m taking on new web design projects in November and December.
