Time and effort is not an issue. I want to know what's the best tool on the market :)
I have played a bit around with Framer, but I finde it a bit "stupid" that i have to learn a new programming language, when i already know CSS and JS – but other than that frames seems to do the job :)
Where can my company sign up for early-beta of this service?
Yes it's ok to use existing design systems for your own personal site, if they are opensource/free/cc/ect., but if you are a designer, why would you?
Your personal site should reflect your personal style and abilities as a designer, and using someone else' work in that connection would send the wrong signals. And if you are creating af personal portfolio site, there is no need to build a complex designsystem like AirBnB or other big companies.
So my answer would be, you CAN use existing designsystems for your personal site, but you shouldn't!
What was it Picasso said "Good artists copy, great artists steal" ;)
What is this? Don't understand what this site is trying to tell/show me...
First: It's kinda hard to give any real feedback based on a very small video and some wireframes in a behance presentation, but i'll try :)
Colors: from the video, it looks like the main color is orange, but most of the icons are blue, and there is also a green button in the video?
Headers: In some headers the text and button i centered others are to the right and some are to the left, i would properly choose one.
Overall: As i said it kinda hard to give any real feedback, but it looks very clean, but I would recommend being a bit more consistant with colors and layout.
Had the very same feeling ;)
I can highly recommend http://umbraco.com it's .net based and not PHP like Wordpress and drupal, but it is very easy to learn – especially if you have experience from other CMS. The great thing about Umbraco is it's backoffice capabilities, I is very easy to make relative complex layouts and datahandling, and still keeping it userfriendly for editors.

I really don’t understand what all the fuss about InvisionStudio is about! Yes all the preview videos looks cool and has a lot of functions that i would like Sketch to adopt, but if you are used to work with Invisions other services Projects, Freehand ect. I would be very sceptical to this app. I really don’t understand why Invision uses so much time on hyping Studio and creating UI kits, and not updating their core services that a lot of us are using every day – personally I’m much more excited to see what Invision 8 brings to their platform – because, Sketch (with its shortcomings) is a brilliant design tool, and at the moment I don’t need another one!
