Hi guys,
I'm looking for feedback on my newly created personal website.
You can find it here: https://website-thomas.thomasledoux1.now.sh.
The source code can be found here: https://github.com/thomasledoux1/website-thomas
Quick preview: 
It was created with NextJS, I wrote some custom animations, used React Hooks, used some illustrations from unDraw, lazy loading for the images, and other speed optimizations.
It's currently lacking a resume section, this will be added in a later stage, I'll create it from scratch in HTML and provide a PDF download option for it.
Any other suggestions/remarks are more than welcome!
If you have any questions about how I implemented something, I'll gladly elaborate :-).
Thank you!

Hi Aleksander,
Thank you for the elaborate feedback!
Much appreciated.
I agree with your remarks, and I will see how I can best implement them into my site.
As for the arrow: something must have broken in my last commit, normally the arrow is animated and the arrowhead appears. Once this actually works I think it's a good addition to the website.
I'll comment here again when I updated my site, so you can maybe have a second look :)

Np!
Hey Aleksandr,
I updated my website with most of the comments you gave. You can check it on the URL I provided before :)
Well done! The site looks much better now, imo.
I would say the strongest part visually is your contact section; the colors there play really well with each other, and things are laid out responsively. Looks very balanced overall.
Hero section is still a little sparse, but that's okay—putting your headshot there was definitely an improvement!
Edit: One thing you may want to consider is increasing the height of the message text area for your contact form (for UX). But otherwise, it looks great!
Nice feedback~!
Hi Thomas :)
I had a quick look at your website and wanted to point out a couple of things. First of all, the first time the user scrolls through your portfolio carousel, the logo images are not visualised immediately. They take a couple of seconds to load. I would look at a way to preload them or hide them until they are loaded. Something like that would not go unnoticed by someone evaluating your skills.
Furthermore, I'd extend your portfolio with some use cases, screenshots of the apps you developed, etc. I guess people want to see what you've done rather than just who you worked for.
Hope I've been helpful :) If you need anything else, drop me a message!
