Upcoming Updates and Future Changes to My Site

This website is far from complete. Despite its sleek, clean design and responsive performance, the back-end HTML and CSS are a mess!

I’ve been dabbling in web design for years, occasionally building out pages just for fun. I’ve always had it in my head to create a website as a platform for my personal brand, Advertising with Aaron,a place to showcase my skills, educate others on good marketing practices, and “practice what I preach” by running campaigns through the site and tracking analytics for everyone to learn from.

As with most hobby projects, you toy with it ,start, stop, restart, stop, and never really take it seriously. That is, until you spot the perfect job opportunity and suddenly want to showcase those aforementioned skills in a more polished, realistic way.

So, I decided it was long past time to build it. I’ve spent several late nights after work writing code to put this site into its current form. I do plan to make updates and revisions because, even with minimal code, there are still small issues.

• The border around the Resume and Skills sections on the Resume page doesn’t line up at the bottom.
• The emojis in the header of the My Thoughts page refuse to display. It’s a stylesheet problem, but I don’t have the time to troubleshoot line-by-line.
• The stylesheet itself is another headache. It could be optimized and trimmed down, and I’m sure there are unused styles I started and then abandoned. Fixing this will be a major time suck.
• The Schedule an Interview/Contact page is missing about 80% of its content. I tried embedding my Facebook page into the site, but it wouldn’t populate any posts. Again, no time to troubleshoot.

I’ll keep posting on the blog when ideas strike, but for now, these posts reflect only my educated opinions and have not been fact-checked.

There’s no metadata, schema, JavaScript, or mobile-friendly code yet. This comes down to time—and also the question of how necessary those features really are for a site that currently functions as a resume.

In the future, these issues will be fixed—or at least the ones that truly need fixing. If I land a job, I can simply save the index file and write new code for the Home page. If I don’t, and nothing else catches my interest, I can save the index file and rebuild the site to better brand me in my current position.
