As a frontend developer, I've gotten by with this as my one and only webpage for almost ten years now: https://stefanfisk.com

What I find interesting about your site is that you've updated it at least once to use more modern web standards - that <main> tag was introduced in HTML5 in 2014, and before that you had a PNG image for your name (https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://stefanfisk.com/). Updating a site to give the user a better experience (eg to use semantic tags) is great.

Yeah, it’s gotten some love every now and then.

In the beginning I felt like I would need a portfolio and all that, so this minimal thing was supposed to be super temporary. But it turned out that actually talking to customers about their needs and what I could do for them was a quite reliable way to land projects. If anyone asks to see prior projects I send them a selected list that seems appropriate in that context.
