This has been a long time coming! Welcome to my new personal website at ivarhill.com, fully redesigned from scratch.
There’s a few reasons I chose to redo my website at this point. Mainly, the old site had a much more commercial tone – it was a portfolio to sell my work. At the time it made sense, but today I’m really not looking for this and would much rather have a platform to share thoughts and ideas.
Which leads me to the second reason – partially inspired by this great rundown of the redesign of The Verge, I wanted a place where I can write and share longform content without being locked into a particular proprietary service. A personal website fits that goal perfectly!
As far as the design itself goes, I also felt that most of my websites to date have been very flashy and arguably over-designed, so I opted for something far more scaled back and functional. Yes it’s a bit boring, but it’s readable, easy to navigate, loads instantly and is straight to the point – which I think is a big win in the end.
For those of you coming here to read up on Core Decay news, I’ll may be posting some updates on this site – but keep in mind you can also find any recent updates on coredecay.com. Until next time!
