My Practical Journey with Simple Verbs

Today I choose to redo my portfolio website because the old one felt clunky. Opened my laptop at 7AM with coffee, staring at that messy code I wrote last year. Thought: “Why complicate things when simple works?”

First step: Build a clean foundation. Used vanilla HTML/CSS instead of heavy frameworks. Typed:

My Projects

No fancy syntax – just easy tags. Felt refreshing like deleting 200 unused browser tabs.

• Created project sections in 20 minutes
• Chose open-source fonts over premium ones
• Customized colors using a basic palette generator

Hit my first snag at 9:30AM. Wanted animated buttons but remembered the “Fast” principle. Instead of writing complex JavaScript, used CSS hover effects:

.button:hover {

background: #2D5D7B;
transition: all 0.3s ease;

Three lines! Got stunning results without 3-hour YouTube tutorials.

Lunch break came while tweaking mobile responsiveness. Remembered my failed 2022 blog redesign – overloaded it with carousels and parallax. Visitors bounced in 8 seconds. This time? Used simple flexbox containers that just work.

Final touch before deploying: customized the “About Me” section. Wrote straightforward copy like:

“I design easy-to-use interfaces that load fast“

Pressed deploy at 3PM. Felt that rare programmer joy when things actually work without debugging nightmares.

Why This Matters To Me

Two years ago I lost a client because my “innovative solution” took 3 months to build. They needed a simple contact form – I gave them a React/GraphQL monstrosity. Their email? “We chose another designer. Looks like you overbuild things.” Ouch. That rejection letter still sits in my Gmail. Now I ask myself before coding: “Is this actually necessary?” 90% of the time – it’s not.

Today proved again: Build/Create/Choose/Customize with Easy/Simple/Fast/Stunning mindset cuts development time in half. My new site loads in 0.8 seconds. Moral? Stop chasing complexity. Simple doesn’t mean boring – it means human.
