Mies ja Lintu / Pekka Astala's Dev Portfolio Website

About this Project

Portfolio design & development for Mies ja Lintu Oy/Pekka Astala, Senior web developer. My tasks for this project included:

• Branding & Brand Strategy
• Content Strategy
• Web Design
• Web Development (NextJS)

The goal for this project was to remake Pekka’s current website that’s using a generic template to something more personable and customized, and help his website showcase his personality & interests while staying layed back and professional. The client wanted his bird to be a center-piece of his brand, and having a cheeky twist to it. The client really wanted the website to stand out and help his brand be memorable in the eyes of future clients or employers.

Fun Facts

• The feathers sread accross the website are from Utu: they were manually scanned and uploaded.
• The project was truly a challenge in terms of responsiveness, but turned out to work fantastically on all device sizes

• Animations/Interactions
• Robot.txt & Sitemap
