Chapter 5. Building the About Me Page

In the previous chapter, we built a form potential for the clients to contact us. This is just one part of the formula of the current model for a portfolio site, either for personal business or for any other business use. The last aspect of this convention is the About Me page. This is arguably the least important page I have often seen and have had to consult with clients who do pretty weird stuff in this corner of their websites. That said, I think it is usually well-intentioned.

But before we get back to designing and coding, I want to put forward an argument for and against the About Me page.
