Site Colophon

Overview

This project originally started in 2019 as I began to ask myself why more people didn't establish their own brands online outside of social media. Most every company today has their own public-facing website used to establish its brand to the world; why shouldn't I? Thus, I've embarked on a journey to establish my own brand on the world wide web.

This website was built from the ground up by yours truly. I considered using a plug-and-play CMS (i.e. WordPress) but opted for more control and customization by developing the site myself. In a big way, this website is a sandbox for me to learn new technologies and cut my teeth on front-end development.

Technology

WilHergenrader.com is registered through Google Domains and hosted on a GitHub repository. I use Jekyll to generate my content into a static site. Bootstrap is deployed as my front-end framework, but most of the css and html is completely custom to this site. Some JavaScript is deployed for the name banner and validating the contact form.
