Daniel, an expert web developer and software engineer, required a revamp of his personal portfolio website. I redesigned Daniel's website in order to make it more visual appealing and more user-friendly. The changes I made helped Daniel attract more visitors and increase conversions.

I was tasked with redesigning the website while keeping its original style intact, aiming to enhance its appeal and competitiveness. I began the project on October 31, 2023, and completed it a month later. This span encompassed multiple meetings with the client to grasp their requirements, various rounds of feedback, and design revisions, ensuring the client's complete satisfaction by the project's conclusion.

The chosen layout has a narrower navbar width compared to the overall content padding, resulting in visual asymmetry and an inconsistent user experience. It appears disjointed from the rest of the content and lacks seamless integration with the overall design."

The absence of a secondary CTA near the primary could limit user options and compromise conversion effectiveness. This may result in missed opportunities for user engagement and conversion.

The site layout could benefit from a more modern and user-friendly design overall, particularly in the 'Skills' section where the text width, matching that of the entire site, makes reading quite challenging.

The initial site animations are very slow, taking up to 7 seconds to load the landing page content. A site with such a lengthy loading time can result in significant conversion loss.

First, I began creating the new design system by selecting colors, fonts, and the main layout for the site.

Afterward, I focused on the landing page, altering color usage and text presentation for a better hierarchy. I also introduced a secondary CTA and included an abstract animation.

The previous website lacked distinct separation between sections like "About Me," "Skills," or "Personal Experience," resulting in a single, big, confusing section.

I also considered implementing a UX concept called Tribalism, which revolves around the idea that people enjoy feeling connected with someone that make them understood. To symbolize this, I used the '{' at the beginning and '}' at the end of each section, resembling the popular way of opening and closing a block of code.

The absence of an "About Me" section, that was included in the "Skills" one, wasn't ideal for a portfolio website. To enhance the client's connection with the potential web developer, I designed a modern two-column layout for this crucial section.

I revamped the "Skills" section by merging it with the technologies one. I created a section similar to the previous one and included special animations for the showcased technologies visible on the live website.

I completely revamped the professional experience section by crafting a more engaging and visually appealing design. It features a dynamic timeline showcasing all the developer experiences, allowing users to interact by hovering over each entry to reveal animated details of the selected work experience.

The previous placement of the Quote was in the middle of the website, which disrupted the overall flow. To enhance its integration and harmonization with the updated color scheme, I redesigned its positioning, ensuring it aligned seamlessly with the website's flow and adapted well to the new color palette.

The previous projects section was relatively small for a portfolio where showcasing projects is crucial. To better highlight these projects and accommodate the new flow, I expanded the section and incorporated an on-hover effect that displays detailed information for each project.

I redesign the "Contact" section, aligning it closely with the refreshed website style. This involved relocating the various contact options that were initially positioned on the left side of the screen throughout the entire website. Additionally, I crafted a footer from scratch, which was absent in the old website, ensuring a cohesive and complete visual and functional experience across the entire site.

The newly implemented design perfectly aligned with the client's expectations and aspirations. It not only met their envisioned aesthetic and functional requirements but also facilitated an immediate increase in user traffic and conversions. This enhancement in design played a pivotal role in bolstering user engagement and fostering improved conversion rates, fulfilling the client's objectives and ambitions for the website.
