Personal landing page
Personal portfolio landing page for Konstantin Nureev — a freelance landing page designer and developer working globally. Built with pure HTML/CSS/JS from scratch, no builders or templates.
The design follows a bold editorial style: typography-first layout, custom animated ticker, scroll-reveal sections, smooth anchor navigation, and a language switcher (EN/AR/RU). Includes a full portfolio grid with 6 live project case studies, client testimonials, process timeline, and a Telegram-integrated contact form.
PageSpeed 99. Mobile-optimized. Cookie banner with EU compliance.
Looks clean Jose. The layout and typography give it a very polished SaaS feel. Curious to see the full product when it launches.
I built my portfolio from scratch using Claude Code and I'm genuinely proud of how it turned out.
As a designer who can code, I wanted something that actually reflected that. So instead of a template, I built it myself with a little help from AI.
A few things I'm proud of:
The whole thing is custom built, no Webflow, no Squarespace
Claude Code helped me move fast without sacrificing quality
It gave me full control over every interaction and detail
It felt like the most honest way to show who I am as a designer in 2026
