Does anyone else have this problem?

I hate designing a personal website. I'm never content with what I made, and even if I feel satisfied a couple of days later I want to start all over. I've gone through at least five complete rebuilds in one year because I can't make up my mind! How do you deal with it?

I've been working on mine for the past 5 years. Just managed to create a landing page for now. I want a blog as well but with custom functionality and theme yet I'm never satisfied with it so I compromised for ghost right now and don't feel like writing anything because it lack the functionality I want... So yeah...

@Hevlastka
Exactly this! I am wanting to build my own blog too but I need it to be perfect before I can start writing. So many choices to make, like do I simply use markdown files with a nice syntax highlighting theme or do I go all out with a database + cms to manage it?
I have gone with both and I have not been satisfied with either...

@wsloth are you my brother from another mother? That's pretty much what I'm going through.

If you're stuck with designs then take a look at dribble.com I visit them often when I have no clue on how to progress.

When it comes to functionality the closest thing I could find is invision boards. Currently writing an Aurelia app that'll hopefully solve my problems!

@Hevlastka definitely my brother from another mother!
Dribbble is definitely a help.

The worst thing about my personal website is that I don't really need it. I'd just like to write blogs sometimes but I don't want to be tied to medium.
Maybe someday our haunted souls will find peace in a final version of our personal website.

I generate it from ReST and give up. There's no chance I'd be satisfied with a theme/style of a personal website. It's similar as a code. You're never satisfied, there's always something to improve. For personal stuff it applies in an exponentially bigger scale.

Can't recall the last time I was satisfied with any of the designs for my personal website. Haha I assume I have gone over about 7 major redesigns so far. Ended up with a simple layout with an image and text rotator.

I go to themeforest. Look at the pages... see it's WordPress and leave

I just built everything myself: http://neilmunro.herokuapp.com/

It's a nodejs app with express. I plan on adding some blog like functionality, and removing the heavy js stuff (since it was originally built to adverse my suitability of a senior js role, short story they didn't want to see my skills in action, just read about them in two pages of A4).

In the end I was happy enough with it, you're welcome to use bits and pieces if you like, sharing is caring and all that...

@nmunro I have got a custom angular 2 frontend running on the Firebase static file host which works great, but I wish there was a way to host a tiny backend on there hahah.

Functionality wise I can build everything I need, but it's always the design I end up completely revamping..

@nmunro really cool concept, I was thinking about build a virtual CV like yours with "plain text" font too, looks like a good idea after all 😊

I use Jekyll and github pages for mine. Easy to use and maintain, with freedom to do whatever you want for the Frontend.
