Hi everyone! I recently created an interior design website for my dad's side business. It's not fully complete yet; I still need to add a project page that will showcase various images of the projects we've worked on. I'm torn between hard coding the images directly into the site or uploading them to Cloudinary and fetching them from there. I'd really appreciate any feedback you have on this decision or any other advice about my site! Thanks in advance! Here's the link to the soft deployment: https://tanika-website.vercel.app/

I think you should just host your images somewhere else instead of hard coding them. There's no need to bloat your repo with large image files. Also, consider converting to webp for quicker loading times!
It's hard to believe you're new to this! The website looks great, though I noticed the animations could be faster. Maybe try optimizing them, especially for the reviews section? It's a bit slow when scrolling.
Yeah, I've had similar issues! Making sure the animations trigger smoothly with something like IntersectionObserver can help, though it seems like it might be buggy for you.
I'm really impressed with your testimonials card section—especially for someone who's just starting out! How did you manage that?
Thanks! I used React states and IntersectionObserver to manage visibility, along with some drag animations for effects.
Using tools like Lighthouse can really help you see how your website performs. Definitely worth a try!
The layout looks pretty solid, especially for mobile viewing! But you might wanna check the links and maybe refine your color choices a bit. Less variety could enhance the overall look. Just my two cents!
Noted, thanks for the tips!
Good point; I hadn’t thought about the repo size! I’ve got tons of high-res images for the portfolio. I think hosting is definitely the way to go.
