"introducing" people that worked on something on a website usually puts me off. Every corporate website you'll find today has a "team" page with some people with fake smiles.

I don't really care about the face of people that made projects, I prefer a website to describe the project itself, why they used this or this technology, why they made the design choices they made.



I would never have imagined that there would be visitors who actually dislike those intro pages hehehe! This is enlightening and will definitely affect how (if?) I implement it in future.

Thanks for the comment.


I know I objected pretty strongly to this in my other comment.

I wouldn't mind a 'about us'/'about the team'/'about me'-page linked in the footer, or as part of a 'contact us' page, or something.

But I don't think it needs to be pushed very hard, and definitely don't place the 'about us' on the landing page.


I feel it is particularity true for [tech / engineer] people, which usually prioritize [relevant / accurate / straight to the point] information over [marketing / feelings].
