Summary
The site currently behaves primarily like a blog, even though it also serves as a personal website.
Evidence
- The blog is mounted at
/ via routeBasePath: '/'
- The homepage is effectively a chronological blog index rather than a landing page for Yakov as a person/professional
Why This Matters
- A personal website usually benefits from a strong landing page with identity, focus areas, projects, and contact paths
- The current structure undersells the portfolio/personal-brand side of the site
Suggested Direction
- Decide on the desired information architecture explicitly
- Consider making
/ a true personal landing page and moving the blog to /blog
- If routes change, plan redirects carefully so existing post URLs are preserved or redirected cleanly
Acceptance Criteria
- The site’s intended IA is documented
- The homepage presents Yakov as a person/professional, not only a post feed
- If blog routes change, redirects are in place for existing URLs
