A mockup of the site on desktop displays. A mockup of the site on mobile displays.

A portfolio site built using 11ty. By the time I started building my new portfolio site I had seen enough of the dynamic content world to know that's not what I wanted (or needed). My site is ultimately pretty simple - just some portfolio pages and blog posts. There's a lot of content here, but nothing that requires dynamic data or a database connection. Instead, I opted to get some practice using the JAMStack. I really like this approach, and I think for small sites like this it's my preferred way of working. I edit content in markdown files and the site is generated at build-time so I only serve plain HTML / CSS. As an added bonus I'm able to hook everything up to Netlify so form management, server maintenance, and continuous integration are all out of sight.
