Little Background
The story behind building this portfolio — why I built it, tech I chose, and what I learned along the way.
Previously, the personal website I built was a static website, hardcode everywhere, look how cute the website is, for version1 and for version2.
As time went by, I realized that it was quite troublesome if there was an update in it. So, I decided to create a Content Management System (CMS), and chose to use Laravel, even for the Frontend also use Laravel (blade).
To build it, it costs quite a lot to pay for a custom domain and server in the form of shared hosting.
Realizing that the bill for personal websites was quite large, I decided to quit after 1 year using shared hosting. But I didn’t want my portfolio or personal website to stop, so I did some research to keep costs down on my portfolio.
There are several Tech Stack options that I got to build a portfolio inexpensively for both the frontend, backend and database. This part will be in the next part.
Since my portfolio will showcase a wide range of skills and interests, I decided to document the process of building my portfolio on a personal website and what I do best.
This is the first one!
