Dr. Chantal Mendes Portfolio
A professional portfolio site for a healthcare client, covering her bio, education and employment history, publications, and a consultation booking flow.
Role
Freelance Developer — full build, solo
Duration
2 weeks (Jun 2024)
Problem
The client needed a professional online presence that could present her credentials, career history, and published work clearly, while giving prospective patients a way to book a consultation directly from the site — with most visitors likely arriving on mobile.
Solution
Built a multi-section, fully responsive site structured around distinct content types — bio, education, employment history, publications, and booking — each scoped as its own section so the page stayed organized despite covering a lot of ground.
Key Engineering Decisions
Prioritized structure and core content over polish given the two-week timeline, with content-heavy sections (education, employment, affiliations) built to stay readable at scale rather than becoming cluttered.
Engineering Highlights
- Built a multi-section professional portfolio from scratch in under two weeks
- Fully responsive across mobile and desktop
- Structured content-heavy sections to stay readable at scale
- Integrated a consultation booking flow
Tech Stack
Lessons Learned
Working on a tight two-week turnaround meant prioritizing the sections that mattered most to the client's goals first — structure and core content over polish, with room to refine after initial delivery.
