I initialy started working on some planetary sketch, but I found this way cooler

I almost finished my new personal website -the one you are probably seeing right now-  but I'm already dissatisfied with it.

I initially chose the Semplice Labs Wordpress framework as my base. I saw a lot of nice portfolio websites built with it, and it captured my interest. It does a wonderful job making WordPress an easy-to-use system for designers showcases, but for a webdesigner it's just not right.

Semplice easily adds lots of flair to your website, but style is just a small part of webdesign. Personally, I find performance and accessibility trumps style in the field of webdesign. I tried optimizing for performance by adding a CDN, concatenating & minifying javascript and css, and caching most requests. But it's still too much overhead.
The outputted code is  also quite messy, and not as semantically correct as I would wish for.

While Semplice would make it very easy for me to update my website with new Showcases and Case studies, I would not be practising what I preach and I try do in my daily work.

So... back to the drawing board.
But for now, this shall do.

My New Year resolution is working on my online identity and branding.
It's been almost 3 years since my last portfolio attempt! So I decided it's time to start a blog, create a new logo, showcase my work online and be more active in the open-source community.
