# I built my portfolio with Claude Code. Here is what I decided myself > Source: > Published: 2026-09-21 16:53:46+00:00 I rebuilt my portfolio with Claude Code. The AI wrote a good part of the code. Every decision that mattered was mine. I am sharing this for anyone who thinks AI tools do everything on their own. They do not. Someone still has to know what to build, what to measure and when to say no. ## The stack TypeScript, React 19, Next.js 16 (App Router), Tailwind CSS 4 and Framer Motion, deployed on Vercel with my own domain. ## What I decided myself - **A clean design.** No extra widgets. A simple site reads as more professional than a busy one. - **An audit first, features second.** I asked for a full review of SEO, accessibility and performance, then fixed things by priority. - **Real accessibility work.** A pause control for auto-rotating carousels, hidden slides marked with`inert` , and touch targets sized for phones. - **SEO basics done properly.** Per-page canonical and social metadata, a sitemap, a single`h1` in the hero, and the site verified in Google Search Console. - **Measure, then decide.** I tried a CSS-only change to speed up the hero. Lighthouse showed no real gain, so I reverted it. The AI can suggest a change. Only measuring tells you if it worked. ## The result (Lighthouse, production) | | Performance | Accessibility | Best practices | SEO | | Desktop | 99 | 100 | 100 | 100 | | Mobile | 89 | 100 | 100 | 100 | ## What I would tell someone starting out 1. Decide the goal and the constraints before you write a prompt. 2. Ask for audits and reviews, not only for code. 3. Read every change. You are the one who ships it. 4. Measure before and after. 5. Keep it simple.
