A high-performance, fully accessible portfolio website built as a technical demonstration. This project prioritizes Core Web Vitals optimization and WCAG accessibility standards while structuring a complete, multi-section developer portfolio . It serves as a practical exercise in modern web performance and inclusive design principles.
The site is organized into six distinct, semantic sections:
- Hero Section – Immediate introduction with name, role, and key statement.
- About Me – Detailed personal and professional background.
- Skills – Technical proficiencies in modern web development stacks.
- Why Hire Me – Highlights of key soft skills and work ethic.
- Projects – A showcase of completed web development work.
- Contact – Clear and accessible contact information and links.
This project is engineered to achieve top-tier scores in Google's Core Web Vitals, the critical metrics for user experience:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Optimized for fast loading of the main content.
- First Input Delay (FID) / Interaction to Next Paint (INP): Ensured immediate responsiveness to user interactions.
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Built for exceptional visual stability to prevent frustrating layout jumps.
Designed to be perceivable, operable, and understandable for all users, adhering to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG):
- Semantic HTML: Proper use of headings (
<h1>to<h6>), landmarks, and ARIA attributes where necessary. - Keyboard Navigation: Full operability using only a keyboard.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: Clear structure and descriptive alt text for images.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: Text and interactive elements meet contrast ratio standards.
- Frontend: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3 (Focus on efficient rendering and minimal bundle size)
- Performance Tools: Lighthouse, WebPageTest, Chrome DevTools (For audit and optimization)
Important: This is a practice/demonstration project. The personal details, project descriptions, and "Lorem Ipsum" text are placeholder content used solely to create a realistic structure for applying performance and accessibility techniques. The primary value lies in the underlying code quality and achieved metrics.
To evaluate the project's success against its core goals:
- Run a Lighthouse Audit (in Chrome DevTools) for Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO scores.
- Check real-world performance data on PageSpeed Insights.
- Test navigation using a screen reader (NVDA, VoiceOver) and keyboard-only controls.
- Live Website: https://a-sleh.github.io/Testing-protofolio-application/
- Source Code: (GitHub repository link would go here)
This project is a technical demonstration by Abd Alf, focusing on the intersection of modern web development, performance optimization, and inclusive design.
