Today’s Focus:
I continued working on my portfolio website, diving deeper into HTML and CSS to enhance its design and functionality. My goal was to make the site not only visually appealing but also user-friendly and representative of my skills and projects.
Key Activities:
HTML Structure:
Refined the HTML structure of my portfolio website, ensuring semantic tags and proper hierarchy to improve accessibility and SEO.
Added sections for my projects, skills, and contact information, using
<section>,<article>, and<footer>tags effectively.
CSS Styling:
Applied advanced CSS techniques to enhance the visual appeal of the website. Focused on layout techniques such as Flexbox and Grid to create a responsive design.
Experimented with CSS animations and transitions to add interactive elements and make the user experience more engaging.
Responsive Design:
- Ensured that the website is fully responsive by testing it on various screen sizes and devices. Used media queries to adjust the layout and styling for different resolutions.
Portfolio Content:
Updated the portfolio section with detailed descriptions of my projects, including screenshots and links to live demos or code repositories.
Added a section highlighting my skills and technologies I’ve worked with, showcasing my growth and expertise in full-stack development.
Challenges Faced:
Adjusting the CSS for responsiveness proved challenging, especially when dealing with complex layouts and ensuring consistency across devices.
Integrating interactive elements required careful attention to detail to ensure smooth performance and compatibility.
Next Steps:
Continue refining the website based on user feedback and personal review.
Add a blog section to share insights and updates about my journey and projects.
Start working on integrating JavaScript for additional interactivity and functionality.
In the future, I plan to make the website more responsive and unique by learning and applying Bootstrap. This will help streamline the development process and enhance the overall design and functionality of the site.
Reflection:
Today’s work has been both challenging and rewarding. It’s exciting to see my portfolio website taking shape, and I’m learning a lot about advanced CSS techniques and responsive design. I’m looking forward to the next steps and making further improvements to showcase my skills effectively.
