Seb. A-R. Website Overhaul Project 2023

Once More, With Feeling!

Welcome to SARnet2.

About this project:

My current website is about three years old at this point and has had the tagline “it’ll be ready, when it’s ready.” For about as long. I think it’s high time I fixed that. Thus, this project. I’ll be looking at a number of different solutions that I can implement to build a better website.

Goals:

In order for me to consider this project somewhat of a success, the SARnet2 should delivier on these goals:

  • One size fits all. The website should be mobile friendly, and look good on desktop. SARnet1 does not do this and it is embarrasing!
  • SARnet2 will be updated with all projects I’ve done over the years, with a link to my resume…even if it’s basically my resume.
  • Updating shouldn’t happen too often, but I’d like for it not to be painful, when I do have to do so.
  • Finally, it shouldn’t be ugly—the last design was, uh, divisive? Keep the colors clean and dark mode friendly is the goal this time.
