Why Does Barkleydotorg Say "This site requires JavaScript"?

Barkleydotorg (barkleydotorg.figma.site) shows the "This site requires JavaScript" message because the page is hosted on Figma Sites, a platform that builds and renders pages with JavaScript. The site cannot draw its layout, year-based portfolio sections, or anchor navigation until JavaScript runs in your browser. To fix it, enable JavaScript for the site and reload the page; if the message persists, try another browser.

What the message actually means

The page you receive first is a fallback notice, not the portfolio itself. Its only content is the instruction to enable JavaScript and reload. That tells you the server responded normally — the problem is on the rendering side, in your browser.

Figma Sites publishes pages that depend on JavaScript for structure and navigation. The site description confirms the intended experience: a navigable portfolio organized by year, contact information, and smooth anchor links. None of those features can appear without scripting enabled.

Fix it in your browser

The exact menu names differ by browser, but the steps follow the same pattern:

1. Open your browser's settings.
2. Find the privacy or content settings area that controls JavaScript.
3. Make sure JavaScript is allowed — either globally or specifically for barkleydotorg.figma.site.
4. Return to the tab and use the Reload page link shown in the message, or refresh normally.

Expected result: the fallback notice disappears and the portfolio loads with its year sections and navigation.

If the message keeps appearing

• Check for blockers. Script-blocking extensions, strict tracking protection, or enterprise security policies can suppress JavaScript even when the browser setting allows it. Disable the blocker for this site and reload.
• Try a different browser. A second browser with default settings is the quickest way to tell whether the issue is site-wide or specific to your configuration.
• Check your network. Some corporate or public networks filter scripts. If the page works on another connection, the restriction is on the network, not the site.

What you get once it loads

With JavaScript active, the site presents its portfolio grouped by year, contact details, and anchor links that jump between sections. If your goal is simply to review work by year, the year groupings are the fastest entry point; the anchor navigation saves scrolling on longer pages.

Quick reference

The message is a configuration signal, not a site outage. Enabling JavaScript and reloading resolves it in most cases; a different browser confirms whether the cause is your setup or the environment you're browsing from.
