> Speaking from the perspective of someone looking to hire
Doesn't it friend in what you're hiring for? I'm not sure a backend developer should be expected to craft together a great website.
And even if you're hiring for the front end, I've found that being proficient at a11y or building React apps or designing elegant CSS doesn't really predict your ability to execute on a professional profile site, which is essentially a marketing tool.
Disclaimer: I'm working on a tool for developers [1] in this vein.
