What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I’m most proud of how clean and visually appealing the final design turned out, even though I worked with just HTML and CSS. I focused on layout, spacing, and design details like background styling and fixed positioning, which really brought the project to life. Next time, I’d spend more time refining the responsive design for smaller screens and improving the structure of my CSS for better scalability. I’d also consider organizing my content more intentionally from the start and planning the sections better before diving into code.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

One challenge I faced was managing the push and pull conflicts with GitHub, especially when the remote repository had updates I didn’t have locally. I overcame this by learning to properly use git pull to sync changes before pushing my own updates. Another challenge was making the background image fixed without cutting off page content. At first, using background-attachment: fixed made the page content get hidden or stuck. I had to experiment with CSS properties like overflow and adjusting layout styles to make sure the whole page was visible while keeping the background fixed. Lastly, figuring out how to deploy my project via GitHub Pages and set the correct source folder (root vs docs) took a bit of trial and error, but reading through the GitHub Pages settings and documentation helped me fix it.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I’d like support with better scaling and responsiveness, especially implementing font styles and sizes that adapt smoothly across different screen sizes and devices. Right now, my fonts can look too big or too small depending on the viewport, so guidance on using relative units, media queries, or modern CSS techniques like clamp would be really helpful. Additionally, tips on choosing accessible and visually appealing font pairings would improve the overall design and readability of my project.
