It’s my long awaited return to the District. I haven’t been back since I moved and I’m DYING to see all my friends, go to Ikea, have a bloody mary at Logan Tavern, get my haircut (haven’t had the strength to cut the Bang ties yet), take public transportation, go to West Elm, ride in a cab, eat at Falafel Shop, take a jello shot at Millie & Al’s, dance at Chief Ike’s, and walk around a city that I have missed since the second I left.
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.
Juan
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.
