When creating the course website, I decided to build a portfolio, since, interestingly enough, it’s one of the few types of websites I had never designed before.

Thanks to the opportunity to use WordPress’s native blocks, the entire portfolio development process was much easier and more intuitive than expected, since this modular system allows you to shape the website and structure the content in a purely visual way, without needing to touch a single line of code or know how to code.

Even so, it wasn’t all smooth riding; due to my lack of prior experience with this block editor, I ran into several problems and challenges along the way. For example, managing the navigation within the editor didn’t feel very intuitive to me, which made structuring the website’s flow more difficult than I’d anticipated.

Added to this was a fairly common headache: the menu on the mobile version. Getting the navigation menu to adapt correctly to mobile screens, ensuring it was user-friendly, and preventing the design from breaking was quite a battle.

In the end, these obstacles are what really teach you to master the tool and understand how to solve real-world web design problems.
