So I know how user-antagonistic my current portfolio site is, so I’m planning on revamping it in the near future. I want to take my time this time though, and do it right- since it’s already my second attempt. I met with a few people at work today to go through the steps of actually planning- instead of just jumping right into the design. I need to make sure that it’s functional and easy to get around to allow the full potential of my portfolio to shine through. One suggestion I got from the meeting was to poll people on their favorite websites and what they liked about them, from a usability standpoint. I got a ton of good responses. And then came one from my friend Juan:

Hey Lauren,

I just wanted to send you a link to one of my favorite websites.  I
think it’s a good model for other websites to go by.

My response: Juan, I think you have been riding the L2 bus waaaay too many times. I’m giving you so much side eye, my eyes are closed.
