X and re-resign questions

Hey everyone! Long time since I last posted here.

I’m currently looking into re-designing the homepage of my website, and have some questions. I hope you guys could give me a hand :slight_smile:

The WIP (work in progress) can be seen at https://www.kevinmaschke.com/inicio-test/

Basically…

  • Currently for the first section I use a section for Desktops/Tablets, and one for mobile. They are displayed/hidden depending on the device/width. I set it this way because using re-sizing text for the “Kevin Maschke” header didn’t look as good… Would you agree with doing it this way or would you recommend/suggest any other better way?

  • Is there any plugin/way you could recommend to list X number of blog posts? I’m currently using the latest posts widget, but I’d like to be able to customize it more and for example leave out the “header” (“Entradas Recientes”) which is added by default. I’ve looked around and tried some free plugins from the Wordpress plugin database, but haven’t managed to get it to look like I want…

  • What plugin would you recommend to include a small portfolio into the portfolio section (currently there’s just a test I’ve done with “The Grid” to show posts, but that’ll go away)? Where clicking an image opens it in a simple lightbox? The same would be for a Portfolio page which I still have to create. I want a simple portfolio, just like a masonry style gallery where clicking on the image opens up a lightbox. Would you recommend Envira Gallery for this?

  • And well, any suggestion/idea is welcome!

Thank you very much guys!

Hello @Lunatic_Zorr,

Thanks for asking. :slight_smile:

Let me share my personal views. Please don’t take this as a official Themeco advice that also includes the plugins name I am sharing.

  1. That’s fine. You can use sections from Desktop, tablet and mobile separately and hide them using Hide During Break point feature to display elements that fits particular screensize.
  2. You can take a look at following plugins and search result on CodeCanyon
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-views-query-and-display-post-page/
    http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/5-best-popular-posts-plugins-for-wordpress/

  3. You can use Envira Gallery or Essential Grid Plugin. I am sharing demo links that you can take a look:

Suggestions: Few things that I noticed that you can consider. Please note that it’s a personal input.

  1. Spacing between Portfolio headline and image. I think there should be bit more spacing between headline and images. https://cl.ly/3P0d350N0N3d
  2. Text color can be changes so that it makes it easier to read. https://cl.ly/1J2i373S2n0e
  3. You can change the footer color. https://cl.ly/2V2M3e361L1W

Thanks.
