What makes me proud is that I was able to complete this project, which was my first ever project where I implemented my CSS skills. It was a significant milestone for me because I learned how to translate designs into functional, visually appealing web pages. The experience boosted my confidence and solidified my foundation in CSS, which is something I still build on today.
Next time, I would spend more time planning and testing responsive design earlier in the process. While the project turned out well overall, I realized late in the process that I needed to make adjustments for mobile devices. Starting with a mobile-first approach or testing on different screen sizes as I went along would have saved me time and effort.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?One major challenge I encountered during my first CSS project was ensuring consistent styling across different devices. What worked perfectly in one device would sometimes display incorrectly in another, which was frustrating and time-consuming to troubleshoot.
To address this, I used tools like developer consoles to pinpoint differences. I also learned about CSS resets and vendor prefixes, which helped standardize the styling. By testing frequently in multiple devices throughout the development process, I was able to identify and fix these issues early. This experience taught me the importance of thorough device testing and preparation.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I’d like help refining the responsive design aspects of my project. While I managed to make the site functional on mobile devices, I feel there’s room for improvement in optimizing layouts and ensuring a seamless user experience across all screen sizes.
Additionally, I’d appreciate guidance on using advanced CSS techniques, like animations or grid systems, to enhance the visual appeal and functionality of the design.
