Concept

This studio was built with a few clear goals in mind. First, I needed a portfolio to showcase my projects — something solid, well-structured, and easy to expand over time. While working on it, I realized I could also integrate the blog I was already building. That way, the blog could serve as an SEO funnel to attract traffic toward my full-stack development services.

On top of that, I figured it made sense to eventually offer digital products directly through this platform. Instead of splitting everything across different domains or tools, I wanted one central space to keep everything connected — content, services, and products — all managed under the same structure.

About the Original

The original version of this site was a simple single-page application built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. At the time, I was also working on a separate blog with a pretty rough design. Eventually, I realized it made more sense to align the blog's design with the portfolio. That way, they’d feel like parts of the same project instead of two unrelated builds.

After thinking it through, I decided to merge both into a single Next.js project and give it a new identity — the studio. It took some trial and error, but once the structure clicked, it all came together pretty naturally.

I'm currently using the original SPA as a more corporate-facing portfolio to target business clients. The structure and layout already fit the purpose, but I’m still in the process of refactoring the code, cleaning things up under the hood, and polishing the details. The plan is to continue using it for corporate outreach and eventually offer it as a base template that other developers can adapt for similar use. It will be available for €100 (excl. VAT).
