Bits-and-Builds is a creative, personality-driven developer portfolio that trades the standard corporate look for a high-energy “pop-art” aesthetic. The main page acts as a visual story, using comic-book inspired elements like speech bubbles, cloud shapes, and superhero-style starbursts to create a memorable and approachable brand.

This project uses AI

Since I’m new to web development, I used caplicot chat to understand how to place pictures (specifically my pfp) on my portfolio.

Title: Footer Upgrade Complete! 🎨

I improved the footer of my Bits-and-Builds homepage. Here’s what changed:

=> Previous Footer:

  1. Featured a muted, conservative style with a mauve background and basic “pill” buttons that felt standard and functional.
  2. Used a left-aligned layout that left a significant amount of “dead” or empty space on the right side of the screen.
  3. Primarily highlighted the email address, requiring more effort for users to find other social links.
  4. Used a very standard, “safe” font. It looked like a basic system font, which can feel a bit plain or like a default setting

=> New Footer:

  1. Swapped the “safe” look for a high-energy, pop-art aesthetic using cloud shapes and “superhero” burst effects.
  2. Centers the content within a large speech-bubble shape, creating a stronger focal point for the eye.
  3. Groups Email, LinkedIn, and GitHub together in one central location for instant access.
  4. Switched to a handwritten/comic-style font. This matches the “superhero” theme perfectly and makes the site feel more like a custom piece of art.

This new look better reflects the playful, creative energy I want for this project ;)
Do let me know what y’all think!
