AI Engineer Personal Site Checklist

Core pages to include

Include a focused homepage, project case studies, profile page, and contact page. Keep navigation minimal.

Every page should answer one intent clearly. Mixed intent pages perform poorly in search and conversion.

Preview Embed Example

Static image preview that works in README files and portfolio pages.

Project Timeline preview embed GitHub stats preview

Trust elements that matter

Add project timelines, testimonials where possible, and transparent process notes. Trust signals should be specific.

Avoid generic claims like expert or world-class unless backed by objective evidence.

Interactive Embed Example

Live interactive timeline embed for portfolio and personal site pages.

SEO essentials for discoverability

Use unique titles, useful descriptions, and structured headings. Keep URLs short and descriptive.

Update sitemap entries for all new pages so crawlers discover content quickly.

Embed Script Snippet

Add this script block to your own site to render a timeline in place.

<div id="gh-timeline"></div>
<script src="https://gitprojecttimeline.com/embed.js" data-key="YOUR_LICENSE_KEY" data-view="active" data-theme="auto" data-mode="interactive"></script>

Conversion path design

Offer one clear action per page. Too many options reduce click-through.

Match CTA text to visitor intent, such as view project timeline for evaluation-oriented pages.

Build a high-trust site faster

Show your real project momentum with Project Timeline and convert profile visitors into leads.
