Project Breakdown
Softora Guide is a personal Next.js project for organising software information into an accessible browsing experience. The public interface brings category navigation, explanatory content and software-discovery pages into one consistent design. This case study uses screenshots of the independently built website, unlike the planned-build design concepts elsewhere in this portfolio. It describes the interface and content architecture without claiming unverified traffic, rankings or customer outcomes.
The Problem
Organising a growing software-content library without making navigation or page layouts inconsistent.
How It Was Solved
Implemented a shared Next.js page structure, reusable interface components and organised content categories, with responsive styling and page metadata.
What Was Shipped
Next.js
TypeScript · Tailwind CSS · Content architecture
Personal Project
Designed, built and maintained independently by me.

For a New Project
My current freelance workflow for new enquiries, not a record of this project's commercial terms or delivery timeline.
Scope in Writing
Requirements, pages and features are captured in a written scope before any work starts - so both sides know exactly what's being built.
Fixed Quote
One written price for the agreed scope. No hourly meters, no creeping invoices - changes are quoted separately before they happen.
Build with Staging Links
The project goes up on a private staging link early. You watch it take shape and click through real pages instead of waiting for a big reveal.
Written Updates & Review
Progress, decisions and feedback stay in writing - so nothing gets lost in calls and every revision has a clear reference.
Launch + 30-Day Support
Deployment, forms, metadata, analytics and mobile layout all get checked before go-live - then I stay available for fixes and questions for 30 days.
