First UX Design Portfolio Website Walk Through - Tips & Advice for Beginners - CareerFoundry 2021

[@chechibo283]

Hey Roland, thank you for sharing, Im on the stage now where I need to have portfolio done, and you know, it takes some time 😅 I saw your site, great work done there, and you programmed it. Wow for me. I have one thing to say, I know you didnt ask but cmon, its free advice from other designer - attach your CV in pdf, otherwise you cant be sure that after downloading to someones computer it will appears as you planned. Pdf is a safe side 🤞🏻

Thanks Che Chi, yes i'm very glad the heavy lifting has been done now. Of course, feedback is always welcomed! Although, my CV is already attached as a PDF, it just opens in the browser and the user has the option to save it wherever they want if they choose to 😁

Love it!! Especially the How Might We Question I have been building my Portfolio on Webflow and Apreciate your walkthrough :)

[@reux9289]

Thank you Esther! Yeah it's always good to use a question like that to keep the case study focused and make it clear the problem we're trying to solve. Best of luck with your Portfolio too 😁

@@reux9289 Hi Reux.Quick inquiry,which app did you use for your portfolio.Also,which app did you use to display the project youve done and the research section?

[@reux9289]

@@TwinkleToes_2001 Hi Catherine, I coded the website myself so used Atom and github to put it on the platform. What do you mean by display the project?

[@theartofcarny]

Hey! Currently in the Google course and seeing this video is very helpful! Side note: on your about page under “tools I use”, there’s a comma after XD that I think is a typo

[@reux9289]

Very excited for you to embark on this journey Carny and thanks for the spot!

I’ve just watched all your vids! Did you end up getting a job yet? How is that going? Asking for myself who wants to do the same career change

[@reux9289]

Thanks for the support Liezl. Yes I do have a new/different job to when I first started the course and I have filmed the video to walk through and explain my current situation. I have just been so busy at the moment that I haven't had the time to watch it back and put the clips together. Bare with me though, hit the subscribe button and you'll get notified as soon as I upload it :D

Hey :) I have experience with design tools and I watched a dozen of UI/UX courses, read UX articles. I understand the process, but what I don't know is how to use UI elements and patterns - how to transform ideas into UI elements and patterns? I can do a survey, testing etc, but how to learn what is checkbox, wizard, tertiary button?

[@reux9289]

Hi Igor, I think that UI is something that a lot of designers struggle with (myself included). In terms of the technical elements (eg how to create a style guide and design language system) that is all taught in the course, otherwise a good idea is to have a look at other portfolios and case studies for inspiration and take a note of the things you like and things you would improve to develop your own UI style.
