Why So Plain?
You're probably wondering why I went for such a simple layout, considering I know how to use a bunch of fancy languages & frameworks.
Well, there's a couple reasons for this, most namely being that it's far easier to build a website like this than to overload it with frameworks and bootstraps. That type of thing works far better for corporate projects than a small, personal website.
On top of that, the performance of such a small site is much, much higher than when using large amounts of scripts and external assets. In the future, I might try and make something more advanced out of this, but for now, this will do.
