Creating a Custom Personal Profile Website (in the about.me style)

March 6th, 2011
When I discovered that my grad school, ETH, offered a free website to all students, I immediately had to design a quick personal profile to put up. I recently came across a site called about.me that makes it easy to create a nice-looking personal profile website. I like the concept and design of this site, and I figured it wouldn’t be too hard to implement it myself. The site is basically one large background image with a semi-transparent text area overlay. I utilized some of the new CSS3 features to deal with the gradients and opacity. After less than a day, the site was ready to go and seemed to be rendering correctly in all the modern browsers.
See the final result: http://n.ethz.ch/student/tchurch/
