Website rework - feedback and ideas

Hi everyone! A few months back I’ve shared a design that I was working for my website and how it wasn’t going well. Fast forward a bit and I got the design and layout I finally wanted however since I’m currently on a creative burst and it’s a new year I’ve decided to rework on the site, this time just adding new features, fixing/cleaning up the code since the template is a mess, and do some tweaks on the design. I’ve attached below two images of the current design and two other images of the new WIP version.

Current Version

WIP

I would appreciate any input!

The site is available on Neocities and Nekoweb.

I think I need a bit more info about what you’re going for to give any meaningful feedback; what’s the kinda style you’re trying to have? Because both seem fine in principle

I don’t really have a style, I’m basing off from other personal sites I like but also Swiss design. Most changes I’ve done on the new version were cleaning up old code but also trying to make the site more consistent (and adding more animations) since I feel like some parts of the site’s design seem a bit out of place? I overthink a lot so at the end of the day I don’t really know what to change to make it look better since I think the site is still not perfect.

Thanks!!

I like how it looks. Reminds me of a 2008 web design template.

I don’t like how the mouse pointer doesn’t change when I hover over these menu links

I love " Built with Eleventy v4.0.0 & procrastination", lol

I would add some breathing space between the footer elements, they seem squished together.

When I click a sub menu option the menu bar blurs, maybe you could do the same for the main page content so that my focus is on the sub menu.
