Scott Vincent Design

The site you're currently on is an exercise in functional, lightweight web design. Using modern techniques it ensures incredibly quick page load times. Avoiding heavy libraries and dependencies to accomplish the fairly simple tasks, it's an attempt to be considerate to users.

This site loads less than 1.5MB onto your device to deliver all its information and imagery. It still takes into consideration the browser size and device type to deliver a responsive, user friendly experience. Rather than attempting to get the page to load exactly the same in outdated browsers, the name of the game is graceful degradation. When a user doesn't have access to a feature, account for that and serve them a different experience while giving them all the same important information.

• High Google Lighthouse pagespeed and accessibility scores.
• Multiple themes that will randomize on page load unless selected, then it will remember your preference.
• The use of a new variable font format that reduces the number of files needed.
• Javascript disabled browsers still display adjusted content.

With all of those things considered, I also want to make a site that I think looks good. Using colour, layout, and typography to create something that I would be happy to visit myself.

Baitclick

In response to the experience in looking behind the curtain of social sharing methods, a desire to build something to stand up to the clickbait machine was formed. A site where you paste links that pose a question, spoil the title, and share that insight with your friends. Saving them from the temptation to click on those links. Practicing simple user experience with a unique, fun idea was the goal after years of working on complicated, serious applications.

Co-founder of this 2 man project never released to the public, this site is built with MEAN.js framework along with Bootstrap 4, and SASS css. Features include Day/Night modes, automatic image creation, and touch specific UI.
