What's your personal website?

Hi makers.

How do you present yourself online?

Do you have a personal website?

Please share them here.

Let's take a look each of us does it 👀

    1. 3

      nice, also love the domain name. I didn't know .land existed

      1. 3

        I'm just waiting for the .park tld. haha

    2. 1

      Really cool look, it's one of these sites you just want to have a look at!

    3. 1

      Colors are looking freshhhhhh 🔥

    4. 1

      Your site has so lovely UI 😍

    5. 1

      Love the domain and overall look and feel - well done!

    6. 1

      Ah, this is sharp. Good stuff.

  1. 5

    https://yahiabakour.com/ - Wordpress mainly because I didn't want to spend >2-3 hours on it and wanted easy maintenance.

  2. 4

    Perfect timing! Just launched my personal space where I will share various online business experiments and will document my journey 👉 https://benasdigital.com/

    1. 2

      Oh wow! I've been just been "rebranding" my own personal space to be a hub of all the things I do, but I have a long weekend of thinking how exactly I can communicate the point, why visiting / signing up / following me / whatever would add value to you.

      Your "I'm gonna make a business that will be making $300,000/year" mission is eye-catching and easy to resonate with, while allowing you so much space with what the content will be! Brilliant.

      Your copy needs tightening, but that's just more content! Like, you can make a podcast episode of how you consulted people and metrics to find the best CTA. (The about section has a date missing for "now on the (?)" and quite a few spelling mistakes, but I imagine the "tone" can be tweaked as well, not just proof-reading).

      YouTube episode on how you set up a photoshoot for pictures that would be cleaner on a dark background!

      In any case, not to hijack your comment too much, but I can elaborate as needed if you're up for it 😄 my site is: https://magrippis.com/

      1. 2

        Thanks, man, for all of the comments! I just recently launched, so yeah, I need to go over everything once more and fix mistakes, etc. Great ideas, I am writing them down in my Asana list :)

    2. 2

      Dope feature box and choice of colors, really eye catching.

    3. 2

      sounds BOLD. Let's see where your journey will get you

      1. 2

        Yeah, I know! I do believe I have enough skills to achieve that in the next 4 years. The journey begins now :)

  3. 3

    https://magrippis.com/ - I've just "rebranded" it for it to be a proper project in itself.

    Pitch on the premise:

    People who know or follow me on the gram and whatnot, see me as a person who is successful and lives in a nice posh flat, while not killing myself with work and over-stress. Some reach out to tell me how stressed they are!

    I also know that lots of colleagues appreciate the Code Sandboxes I often create and share with them to share a new library, or highlight a problem we had that week.

    I know I can help both of those types of audiences, but how do I convince them I can? A newsletter where I share a Coding Challenge at the start on the month, then discuss solutions, and stream me solving it live at the end of the month could be a possible play.

    Then again, I do think there's something in how even though my "career success" is as a software engineer, my life isn't coding all the time! So maybe a "success without sacrifice" type of newsletter will be of interest. But how long I can keep that theme going, before becoming "oh, Johnny is talking about the Pomodoro technique again". "Top 7 ways to paraphrase the 4-hour work week to amaze your audiences!"

    And again, how do I convince strangers on the internets I can help with these things? One thing to convince colleagues that know how you work, another to convince friends that have seeen you having a laugh doing tricks on a balance board on the balcony, another strangers who could rightly think "great, another guy who thinks he's got it all figured out!"

    The newsletter itself is just something that only came up a couple days ago when I saw discussion on https://substack.com/ here on Indie Hackers! Maybe focusing on website content distributed on other ways, like streaming and podcasting is actually the way to go.

    So... lots of thinking happening this long weekend on this, while also appreciating the sun and FFVII 😁 And I'd appreciate any feedback and advice here!

    https://alexshye.com/

    Custom HTML, CSS. Nothing fancy. Just enough to have a relatively clean looking home page up.

  5. 3

    This is my personal website :) - https://www.dansiepen.io/

    Built with Webflow :)

  6. 3

    https://halvorson.co.uk - built with Gatsby, reading list powered by AirTable

    1. 1

      That typeface works really well with the off white background.

  7. 3

    https://masilotti.com - designed by me on top of Jekyll. I blog about Ruby on Rails and iOS testing and every once in a while board games.

  8. 3

    This year, I invested some time to get my own website up and running. I tend to update it from time to time even.

    https://skatkov.com - it's a very simple jekyll/netlify site. ;-)

    1. 1

      This website is fast af

      1. 2

        Thanks, I have an unhealthy obsession with speed optimizations :)

        1. 1

          How is your site so fast?! I need this site speed.

    1. 1

      Awesome, what powers the blog?

      1. 2

        Actually glad you asked! The blog is powered by imprint.to, a social blogging platform I've been working on these past few months. You can build a blog for free, add a custom domain, and get your posts promoted to the community. Would love if you checked it out!

        1. 2

          Wow nice, your own product?
          It does seem like just a once-off, not something people can also use?

          It looks cool though, I love the preloaders

    2. 1

      I like the text hahahah

    3. 1

      keep building man. You have some cool projects there

    https://ibro.io
    Built from scratch with HTML 😁
    I'm actually too lazy to code it, but will try to finish it in the upcoming months.
    Also I like building from scratch that's why it takes more time.

    1. 2

      Probably one of the dopest websites I've seen in my entire life.

      😎🤙🏼

    2. 2

      https://ghaziaouina.com I am trying to finish it for 5 months 😅 maybe it's time now 🤔

    3. 2

      haha reminds me of the first version of my personal website https://v1.felixparadis.com/
      it has 1 or 2 Easter Eggs in it too

    4. 1

      short and to the point

    https://www.kevinpeters.net/

    Built with Gatsby, React and hosted on netlify. Publishing blogs there mainly :)

  11. 3

    https://wordbutter.online - Just a little blog of my thoughts, using Proseful.

    1. 2

      Smooth domain name (pun intended)

      Loving the minimalist design.

      Well done 🤙🏼

    2. 2

      Really clean. I love it.

    3. 1

      The domain name is gold! ⚡️
      Never heard of Proseful, but looks very clean love clean and minimal UI's

    1. 2

      Nice, very clean, the images are seen very large though,
      I don't have the best internet connection but the load forever.

      1. 2

        Hey thanks. Yeh they are hosted on unsplash (free image website), I am not hosting any images locally. I think that might be the reason :)

  12. 3

    http://www.adils.me

    Took me quite a while to get around to a revamp last year, certainly needs some attention again with each project's presentation. Built with React, was trying out the new introductions to 16.8+.

    1. 1

      Great stuff. Much respect from UK by another YU brother :)

  13. 2

    https://rasulkireev.com - built with Django

    Currently rebuilding it with Gridsome.

    1. 1

      Nice and clean. How does your blog set up?

        1. 1

          Do you manually create an component for each blogpost or you have some hosting system for your articles?

          1. 2

            I have a "template" for how the Post will look like. When I finish wiritng a post I just add it to my content folder (as an md file) and git push. 2 minutes later post appears on my site.

  14. 2

    My personal website is also my blog, www.nadyaprimak.com

    I'm actually wanting to do a revamp because my blog is about creative coding and on my website I describe myself as a UI/Game Developer. These days I am a full stack developer by day and a bunch of random things at night from blogger to game developer to creative coder. I think creative coder sums things up better and also stays in tune with my blog so probably will update that soon.

    Besides my blog, the rest of my site is a 1 page site where the portfolio items pop up as overlays. I wanted a portfolio that would be easy for me to edit and sufficiently minimalist so that it didn't look overwhelming. I really struggled with writing the "About Me" at the bottom because its constantly changing with my interests and updating it every week is pretty tedious.

    Another thing I am on the fence about is my blog design. I thought about using the same dark theme as my website but I worried about readability so I decided to go with a contrast approach where my blog is white and my site is black. Anyway I could ramble on about the imperfections and what I want to change forever but at the end of the day its always a work in progress.

    1. 1

      Thanks for sharing. I like your blog, I was actually considering creative coding for my artistic outlet. But then stumbled upon Lens Studio by Snapchat. I don't know if that's sort of your thing, but maybe you'll like creating there too

  15. 2

    evanhilgemann.com
    Simple and straightforward mostly because I don't really know what I'm doing yet, but am considering expanding. Built with Jekyll.

        Hey @mamba, thank you!

        I'm using
        Vue for the site,
        GSAP for the animations,
        Firebase Hosting for the server.

  22. 2

    https://ignacemaes.com

    Made from scratch by myself. I took it as a learning experience to familiarize myself with CSS animations. Thanks for reminding me I should update it though, none of my latest projects are on there yet.

    1. 1

      Hey !

      the website is really simple and nice further the slide up animations to show your project details is really cool , can you share how you did it ?

  23. 2

    What's up IndieFam, here's my personal website:

    https://mfkl.github.io/ - very minimal technical blog, built with Jekyll.

  32. 2

    Here's my website: https://davorminchorov.com/

    I built my personal website out of boredom and a need to experiment tools and technologies that I do not use on daily basis.

    Built it with Laravel as an API, VueJS as the front end framework of choice in a Single Page App approach and designed it with Tailwind CSS.

  33. 2

    https://www.felixparadis.com

    Built with Hugo and hosted on Netlify. The only cost is the domain name.

  34. 2

    My personal blog is at https://blog.jonblankenship.com, and it's where I talk about things related mostly to software development.

    I've also started working on growing my Twitter following this month: @jon_blankenship. Trying to be more intentional about growing my audience. Hit "Follow" to stay in touch! :-)

    Very basic page, but planning to do something fun with it in the future!
    https://yanyuk.com (also picked up yany.uk, but need to configure the redirect 🙂).

  37. 2

    Nice timing for the Q; I was recently prompted to completely revamp mine! (s/o @Leandro)

    http://test.cultureclap.com -- just HTML, CSS & JS

    It's not live yet, but the frontpage is basically complete!

    today I'm lookin' to get the blog up using VuePress

  38. 2

    https://lucaionescu.com - hosted on GitHub pages and built with plain HTML & CSS, no JavaScript!

    1. 2

      less is more 👌 but if you add some colors to headings it can be better

      1. 1

        Thanks! Good idea, I will look into it.

      1. 1

        Yeah, I know, I have to compress them, it's on my to do list.

    1. 2

      how do you like Webflow?

      1. 1

        Its amazing for a non-coder like myself. Most of what you see I stole from one of their templates. I think I paid like $40 for the template then customized via drag and drop. There is a bit of a learning curve and it does not automatically make your site responsive like perhaps a landing page builder or Square. But it works great since I need not manage any code, upgrades or plugins. Happy to help if you decide to take that route lmk.

  41. 2

    http://root81.com - built with minimal design skills :p

  42. 2

    For lack of a better word, I present myself as consistent.

    I don't have a website, I have a blog and I post weekly (occasionally more)

    The truth is, no matter how talented you are, if you don’t show the world your amazing work, you’ll inevitably miss out on many opportunities.

    In the digital world, you are your website. So make it good.

      blog more man, I think you make something interesting inside of your brain. Give it to the world

    vocalpresets.com - 20% conversion rate for email signups

  46. 2

    I used to just use my name (and I still use that for email), but I'm going to transition that site more into a portfolio-style site at some point in the future.

    For now, the only "personal" site I keep up-to-date is Greater Dan Or Equal To. I was originally going to use it for just thoughts about optimizing T2P conversion, since I had an awful lot to say about that, but then I burned out, changed jobs, changed perspectives, and now I just want to use it to put all of my not-associated-with-work professional articles.

    1. 1

      Looks neat! Thanks for sharing! How was your experience moving from Angular to Gatsby so far? I'm in a similar boat and would love to know more (posted a question about this here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/learning-react-gatsby-for-an-angular-developer-8dee65fe78)

      Wondering, what will be your reaction if there is an open source alternative to it !?

      1. 1

        My reaction would be: I'd rather pay $1 to $2 per month for a professional service rather than maintaining a server, updating code base, and deal with bugs which will cost me more money and precious time :)

      Looks good. As a designer the first thing I noticed is that you have standard react favicon and logo. I've created your personal logos and favicon based on your logo.

      You can get them here:
      https://we.tl/t-oFtV61nITY

      You can place them in your root folder and it will work!
