I'm just starting to build my portfolio site.
I'm building it in phases along with my teacher for a class. You can follow along with my process here.
I'll update this page with links to new content as I have them.
Tips for good Web content:
- Codebase: I've set up the skeleton of the code for the site so that I can start making pages and adding content. I documented my work as I set things up.
- Don't skip a heading for the look. Start with h1, then h2, then h3, and so on.
- Lists are easier to read than paragraphs. Use them to group related things.
- Keep paragraphs short and to-the-point. Provide links to relevant content when you mention it.
- Embed links in anchor text that describes what the link is about. Don't use words like "click here" or "link" in the sentence.
- Each page should end with a link to the next thing you want your users to do. This is called a Call-to-Action, or CTA, for short.
End every page with a call-to-action.
A CTA is a sentence that tells the user what to do next and provides a link to the next page.
