It’s hard enough to keep up with updating a portfolio website when it’s built in a content management system, so it’s no surprise my past Github-based portfolios haven’t been updated as frequently as they should’ve been. My goal for my new site was to make adding new work as easy and efficient as possible so I could do it more often.
Utilizing the Behance API, I was able to automatically pull my projects from my Behance Portfolio. As a designer, I’m expected to update both my portfolio website and my Behance portfolio regularly, so I decided this was the most efficient route to take. Now, when I make any updates on my Behance portfolio – whether I’m adding a new project or reordering existing projects – my portfolio site automatically updates with those changes.
As a designer/developer
I want a low-maintenance, easy-to-update portfolio website
So that I can add new projects as quickly as possible
WHEN you first visit the page
THEN only the project images display
WHEN you hover over a project image
THEN you can see the project name and category
WHEN a project image is clicked
THEN you’re taken to the full project on Behance
WHEN I add new projects to my Behance portfolio
THEN those projects automatically get added to my portfolio site
WHEN I drag and drop projects within Behance to reorder them
THEN the order automatically updates on my portfolio site
WHEN you refresh the page
THEN a new fun fact is displayed
WHEN you hover over a fun fact
THEN a gif related to that fun fact is displayed
WHEN you begin to scroll down the page
THEN the asterisk in my logo spins
- Navigate through projects:
- Generate new random fun fact about me on page refresh:
- Asterisk rotates on page scroll:
