Why my portfolio has two versions
I built a 3D portfolio, then decided it moved too much. So the main site is now simple, and the 3D one lives at its own address.
My first portfolio at muwamurad.com was a 3D room you scroll through: a desk, a laptop, shelves with my skills on them. I enjoyed building it. But when I looked at it as a visitor, it was a lot. Things moved before you had a chance to read them.
What I changed
The main site is now plain on purpose: who I am, what I've built, and how to reach me. There are a few small animations and one small 3D object next to my photo, and that's it. It loads fast on a phone, and you can read everything without waiting for anything to finish moving.
Where the 3D one went
I didn't want to throw it away, so it lives at 3d.muwamurad.com now. Both sites read from the same admin, so when I add a project it shows up on both within a few seconds. I only keep one of them in search results, the simple one, so people searching for me land on the version that's easiest to read.
What I took from it
A portfolio is for the person reading it. If someone has thirty seconds, they should leave knowing what I do and how to reach me. The fun stuff can sit one click away.
