This site took me a year to build. I’m really proud of it

https://pixelbakery.com

I run a small animation studio, and I’m particular about our branding, and hiring a freelance dev was out of our budget, so I taught myself ReactJS. This site has consumed all of my free time for about a year. The code probably isn’t the cleanest, but I’m content.

    that's really cool! I like how the logo is animated when you scroll down, wow! Which content management system did you use, if I may ask?

      We use an max processor called frontmatter. There’s no actual cms with it beyond that because I wanted to focus on site speed. One day I’ll get around to it though

    It looks beautiful, great job!
    Love the colour scheme and it's quite creative. The only feedback I have is in FAQ's the questions can have a darker colour as it's currently a slightly darker shade of pink on a light pink background.

    That is a great job for someone who just learned React. Many congrats and good luck!

    Wow!
    Loved your design and work @jordy

    I can definitely buy your services because you show what you do. So I can feel what I'll get at the end.

    Also thank you for open sourcing your project.

    Keep up!

    This is a beautiful website for sure. Maybe you need to make the header colours a little bit more contrast because the pink background too similar with the text. Plus the header is too big on mobile. At least for me, I don't like scrolling too much and there's too little summary of the page in the header now.

    I think your onboarding page is automatically scrolled to the form, but it is appearing weird half way through the page on mobile.

    I haven't tested this site on PC.

    Hope this helps. Keep up the good work!

    I love the personality in this. If I could give my opinion, I would like the coloured containers to have some texture on them, as they appear quite flat at the moment. Maybe some grunge/paper textures or just noise can make them more aesthetically interesting?

    it looks good, but man a year is a lot of time, i get you probably never programmed and you can be proud of you for doing such a greate page but a year is really damn long you could have easily bought a page from fiverr. absolutely no hate i prefere doing it yourself also more :)

    Hey, this is a really awesome UI. React code is hard - if you taught yourself and built this I'm impressed.

    Love the use of a handwritten style for the section headings!
