Welcome to justinverstijnen.nl v2
Welcome to my completely renewed website. The past month I’ve been busy rebuilding my old Wordpress website to a completely new website based on GitHub Pages. I wanted to enhance this website on the following areas:
- Light/Dark mode
- Better experience on mobile devices
- Uniform pages and posts
- Scalable and future-proof solution
Why this new update?
My old website was great, but with Wordpress and some specific requirements I had, it became obsolete to me. I couldn’t find a great skin other than I already had for the complete lifecycle of it which I still really like. It required me to have around 300 lines of extra CSS to get the website to my likings but still had an inconsistent experience across multiple devices. Also I needed around 28 plugins to make everything work, making it a mess sometimes.
Flight blog
I also wanted to separate my technical career blog from my flight blog, which is also renewed. You can find this here if interested: flightblog.justinverstijnen.nl
On my flight blog, I write about achieving my Private Pilot License (PPL) and the flying lessons themselves which I really find fun to do.
