Web Developer Portfolio Review From Brooklyn | #CodingPhase

hey guys it's your boy Joe back at it again coding face.com your boys back in I don't did it again today we have a portfolio review okay so let's do this so we're gonna refresh this as go to Rasheed arm and calm okay so receipt send me an email he said Joe could you please review my portfolio let me know what you think and that's what we're gonna do here okay so pretty much we have a website me what we supposed to see rain is supposed to be your website alright so we have this website basically says hi I'm Rashid and I love solving problems etc you know all the cool stuff that developers is supposed to love okay I like it about me he's from Brooklyn full stack developer always looking for opportunity it's a code and design learn new things nice okay now the next thing that we have here let's see project with asterisk next to the name require login so you realize fully that can be a problem like I know a lot of people would you guys want to set up you know projects that have logins user authentication well you should do is set up like a demo so you should be like okay anything that needs a login just put in the login of demo you know user name demo password and just to make it easier for somebody who's just like looking at your website and just it's not planning or signing up for things okay I think that's what other things so let's look at your first project right so we're going here stories by coin stack automatically that's already like a thing where you're like hey you need to sign up people do not like this like this is just like given even for user experience they want to see something like before they even sign up to anything or what am i signing up to you know cuz I can see here from crypto whales that I guess it's like some coin crypto coins thing but they should be like a full-page here like letting me know what exactly is it that I'm doing you know visually okay think of this this is your your landing page this is where are you supposed to attract somebody to want to sign up okay so I'm gonna sign up hopefully there's no email verification or nothing like that because I'm not gonna go through that whole process but let's say Joe Joe Santos Garcia password pass word one two three okay pass word one two three and I see the sign up okay I signed up what am I supposed to be seen okay so then now I have to log in okay so what was the username San Jose Garcia Gmail or was it Joe I can't remember let's try this password one two three signing in okay this error okay oh my god not now okay I say password one two three now think about it like this this is me just logging in and doing this whole thing this is what somebody has to go through so check this application if you are a recruiter most recruiters don't have time to go through this whole thing right these gonna go to your website and if they came and login them they'll go to the next project right even though this could be a really cool project all right now coming here let's see what's going on so I guess you connected to an API shows the friend coins bitcoins etc all right seems cool the only thing that I will say is the design ok the design of this this website is I don't know it's not that good I'll be honest I can see that the application works everything is exactly how you developed it right but the design of it like there's black in in dark green on the first letter like it's not good it's not good it's not that good for readability and just just a view of it okay cuz I'm looking at it it's like it's too dark and then it has a orange background so user experience needs to get worked on the design needs to get worked on okay my advice would be check out dribble look I'm not saying that every single one of you guys need to be experts with you know design all right but come here and just get ideas web apps all right you search web app right you have let's see this you could literally take the idea of this this application right or the design just for inspiration right you could take the the design colors and the way how the fonts are the typography you could take those things and implement it to this project and it will make a huge difference okay this hundreds of applications here that people have designed and you could take inspiration from them okay like different user you know user interfaces that it's just it works better right there's a reason why most dashboards are light right because it just is very easy for a user to find their way through the application okay you can come here you can see like DISA million applications here where you could get ideas or just use the color schemes okay that's already there I'm not saying you guys gotta be the best designers etc like that's not what this this thing is about because I could tell that you know how to code right you definitely did this I'm pretty sure with like JavaScript maybe nodejs especially since you put it on Heroku app it could be no js' or Ruby on Rails most people that they upload things to Heroku are either nodejs or Ruby on Rails but we don't even know what this project is built on like you should have more details here like hey I use nodejs I use distance and that and then technically you should have that when I click here instead of linking me to the application it should link me to another page of your portfolio explaining what you used in in this project right so before I even go to the project I know what's going going to happen in the project what you did you know what exactly is it that I'm looking for so like that it's easier for whoever is going to hire you to say okay this guy did the front end this guy did the back end he used no Jes he used some react you know like I don't even know what you used let me see where was my whap eliezer I can't find it weaponize okay so I got charged as jQuery material CSS okay so you know it's okay all right now let's go to the next project okay and about marketing tech startup okay this is cool all right now one thing that I'm going to notice already there's a lot of dark themes in here okay your portfolio's dark your projects are dark okay you should try to have something more light like it's more welcoming okay so this other project what exactly is this project here this is like a marketing agency okay it's good that you have other pages because I see people that create projects and they don't even have any other pages besides the landing page and they think like oh that's a my website is done it's like now like create other pages so this is a plus okay now once again what I will say is just the design that just needs some help okay definitely needs to work on that you should have more lighter lighter themes it's more welcoming okay next thing that we have here okay so this coin story there's a coin stack in both of this the same ones yeah so I'm pretty sure this is the same one okay coin stack yeah coin story and coin stack they seem to be the same same project okay SpaceX stats alright let's see what's going on here let this load Heroku app okay so SpaceX design manufacture launches and once again we're back to the dark themes okay now for this SpaceX it makes sense to be dark okay cuz it's space and you can argue that it's like a man is the dark space I don't know dark matter or something but like I said main design is some work let's see the launches okay seems cool I wonder what you built this on okay so no J yes using webpack JavaScript jQuery okay seems pretty cool and like I'm not questioning that you know how to build this things like you know you definitely know how to code right now it's just about the presentation like you want to build some projects that that really showcase what you can do okay cuz obviously I can tell that you know how to code this thing here I don't know I'm almost sure that I've seen this before 100% sure that I've seen this before and that's fine to have projects that you've done in other courses and things like that but you should still change it around you know instead of making the circles make you square and add a different background change the UI change a couple of different things so it could look like a different project than the course that you took I don't know who who's the one whose instructor that that does this project if you guys know leave it in the comment but I'm pretty sure I've seen this before okay so let's move on to the next thing MJ's bakery okay let this load okay nice got some cookies welcome to paradise work cannabis and factions me really I'm gonna see Mary Jane's bakery alright yeah this seems like a cool cool website and I see what you're going for you going for building a website for business now one thing that I'm noticing in most of your your applications you're using animations for no reason okay animation should be used for a purpose like right here this many just popping up from the left to the right like there's no reason for that to be happening okay sometimes we get caught in the idea of let's throw some animation make the website look cool but at some point if you overdo it then it just makes your website look cheesy all right and talking about cheesecake and all this stuff it just makes your website look cheesy okay going back going back to what I was saying right because you are a developer you are not a designer unless you're planning to take some design courses what you should do is you should be going to dribble comm search for UI design inspiration sites okay you click here 25 bus all right and then you will see behance dribble you have a Awards you are moving Flickr land book site inspired that's another one because that's mobbing there's a couple of ones that you should definitely check out I can't remember this one that specifically just for website designs okay but definitely do some research search online UI design websites for inspirations and and basically you'll find it they should be one that has a whole bunch of different designs okay now going back to what we were saying about your projects here they seem to be pretty solid projects right it shows that you know how to code it shows that you can build full stack applications the things that you got to work on is every single project should have its own page that once I click on this it should take me to the page explaining what the project is and then whenever I click on code they should go to the github which is that's great alright if I click on the website then it should take me to the website so that part is good now this right here this is where you got to work on just to make sure that if I click here I want to see what this project is about okay also to create a demo account okay create an account assess if you want to see the inside of this application just use demo at gmail.com password one two three right or something like that so like that could be easier for anybody to come in and they start working on it also - I will say try to focus more on project for small businesses I like this bakery the bakery just needs a better design something that it just makes you stand out because when I see websites like this and projects like this this automatically automatically before I even know who you are before I even know your name before I even know where you come from the first thing that I already know is this person as a beginner hasn't had any clients and at the same time I already know that he had a king from a bootcamp or he's self-taught right those are the things that I'm getting automatically all right so what you want to do is you want to build websites and applications that make you look like oh this guy's already in the industry he's already freelancing right because none of these projects here a client will will say hey I'm all proving right nobody's on this websites they look legit enough to say I'm a client and I'm gonna pay for that right so anybody that's watching this you know going over your portfolio can really tell automatically this guy either hasn't been working yet or he just has no experience and this is like self-taught projects that he's doing on his own because a regular person is not going to pay for this projects okay you know website is the MJ's bakery is a project that somebody will pay for but then the design doesn't you know doesn't help it okay so like I said you know search for this thing's like literally come here you want to say bakery right come here see what else do you have alright like this is just an idea okay this is just an idea that you could come here and say you know what this seems like a cool cool project that I can make and you could take the same idea that's here and recreate it okay and you could take this is the beauty of it right cuz this is like a collage you could literally take like all of these pictures and create your own collage right you could say okay I like the design this website right but I don't want to take their design I like the layout so you could take the layout of this website and they say you know what I like mmm come here scroll down I like the color scheme of this website okay so you could take the color scheme you see how it is it's like a greyish with the background I got the greyish the white right a little brown so you could kind of take the color schemes of this and use the layout of this other website and create a brand new website okay and there's nothing wrong with that okay that's why this websites are here people put their designs up to showcase it but at the same time every designer that's out there they're taking ideas from other designers so as a developer you can also do the same thing to create your websites so that's one thing that I will say for you to definitely do and write down you know like Grill clients or go to let's say was it odesk.com or Elance wasn't a lens let's see your desk up work now you know they come up with different things right come here fine fine um you know websites right this is real real jobs real freelance jobs right and literally come here click on web development okay and go through the listings you will find a whole bunch of different projects that people are hiring developers for and then you say okay you know what I'm going to create the project even though I'm not gonna get hired by them I'm going to create that project for my my own portfolio okay because all of this is its projects that people need and that are actually hiring for okay and like I said it's a mixture between the code right well where exactly is it that you're building and then at the same time it's what the project actually looks like you know it's very important it's developers we might say man you know who cares we'll come see my github you know just come in see my github see what I built it on and see what type of projects I have and that's great right that's great to say hey just check out my code that's great that shows that you you know how to code but when you're looking for a job or you're looking to get new clients the thing that's gonna make you stand out from the thousands and thousands or even millions of developers that's out there is the type of projects that you have okay so definitely look into that try to step it up but besides that I like the projects that you have right I like all the things that you have here it just shows me that you know how to code you've been doing your work you know exactly what to do with JavaScript which is great you know HTML CSS this is great now it's just about the presentation now you want to present yourself as a professional okay and that's just see alright so I'm gonna see you guys later Superboy job back at it again coding face.com
