Coming Soon Website — Now live

PERSONAL PROJECT — 2015 My website is finally online - or at least the coming soon version of it. Check it out: http://weinhardt-design.com

This site is a kind of placeholder for the actual portfolio site which I'll start working on soon.

Even though there isn't much content I still spent a lot of time coding this piece. I used middleman as the framework and Bootstrap as a base for components and the styling. Many things happened behind the curtain and most of it was preparation for the actual portfolio site (SASS variables). In addition I treated this personal project as if it's a commercial project I'm working on. Project management in Trello with agile milestones and to-do's. Pushing code into a Git repository.

I wanted to challenge myself and increase my frontend development knowledge by creating this website from scratch.

I started with various sketches and scribbled concepts. With intent I skipped creating wireframes or hi-fi mockups (Sketch) since and jumped directly into the browser instead. So I started building the basic html structure and layout with the help of Bootstrap components. By the time the styling was also done. Et voila... a responsive handcrafted website.

Unfortunately I had some problems when I needed to compile the site using middleman's build feature but I managed to handle it somehow.
