Blog perch

Hurray! I have a new personal website!

I needed a new platform to talk about my work and experience, to showcase my skills and write about tech. The site went recently from just a landing page to a dynamic website. It is running on Perch content management system.

Why Perch?

I needed something that is easy to install and set up. I wanted to have the flexibility in creating content regions. A blog functionality was also an advantage.

I also didn’t want to use WordPress because I wanted to take the opportunity to explore and try out different technologies. To me, a personal site is not only about marketing myself but also a space to challenge myself and learn something new.

Moreover, Perch was developed here in Bristol, by Drew McLellan and Rachel Andrew. She is a very inspiring woman who I admire for the work she’s doing in the front-end development field. Her work on CSS grid motivated me to use here the new CSS layouts instead of traditional floats.

Images

There are a few free stock photographs on my website. Eventually, I would like to replace them with my own, but I think they suit the site at the moment.

I would like to credit the authors of images from Unsplash I’ve used on my site:

Web analytics

At the moment I am not using any web analytics tool to track user behaviour on my website.
