I'm a junior web developer looking for a bit of guidance. I currently work freelance with WordPress and am starting to learn some React and PHP.

I've decided I'd like to start putting together my own personal site, as a portfolio and to find potential clients, but also to practice the skills that I'm learning.

I wonder if anyone has any tips that you would have found useful when you first created your personal site, e.g. Using boiler plates, free hosting sites, dos and donts, etc.

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing from you!
