Building a Modern Static Site with Next.js
Building a Modern Static Site
In this post, I'll share my journey of building this personal website. I wanted something that felt modern, minimal, and "tech" without being cluttered.
The Stack
- Next.js 14: For the framework.
- Tailwind CSS: For styling.
- Framer Motion: For animations.
- Cloudflare Pages: For hosting.
Why Static?
Static sites are fast, secure, and easy to deploy. With Next.js output: 'export', we can generate a purely static site that can be hosted anywhere.
Design Philosophy
I chose a dark theme with a specific color palette:
- Background:
#03080c - Accent:
#f2a900
The goal was to create a "minimal-tech" aesthetic that appeals to both developers and designers.
