How We Started

The idea behind the portfolio was to create a clean, expressive space where Jacques could document his professional journey, showcase real work, and attract opportunities in three distinct fields. It was designed with versatility and personal branding in mind—reflecting both creative energy and technical discipline.

Project Process

Research & Conceptualization

We began by outlining how to represent three different skill sets without overwhelming the user. The concept focused on clarity, visual segmentation, and smooth navigation between sections for Web, Cybersecurity, and Design.

UI/UX Design

Designed in Figma, the layout balances minimalist whitespace with pops of color and custom visuals. Each skill category is presented with its own theme and content blocks, making it easy for visitors to focus on what interests them most.

Development & Testing

The site was built to be fast, responsive, and SEO-friendly. Smooth transitions, performance-tuned assets, and well-organized project showcases ensure an enjoyable user experience across devices.

Key Features

Visually Balanced, Modern Design

The site pairs technical elegance with creative flair—perfectly capturing the blend of development, security, and design.

Sectioned Skill Categories

Clear segmentation allows users to explore each field independently—whether viewing web projects, reading cybersecurity writeups, or browsing visual designs.

Service-Oriented Navigation

Clearly labeled services and calls-to-action simplify the process of booking consultations or requesting quotes.

Fully Responsive

Designed for all screen sizes and devices, making it easy for recruiters, collaborators, or clients to engage from anywhere.

Fast & Lightweight

Optimized assets and clean code ensure quick load times and a smooth browsing experience.

Conclusion

The Jacques Engelbrecht Portfolio brings together three distinct passions under one polished platform. With its structured layout, responsive design, and personal voice, it serves as a powerful tool for networking, client acquisition, and self-expression—opening doors across industries and skill sets.
