Introduction to Web Development, HTML, CSS, and Git

This project was created to begin to understand how to use HTML, CSS, and Git for basic styling and manipulation. The challenges with this project were to begin to conceptualize and put into practice how to code a simple website based off images of a template that included the following elements:

• Header
• Sticky Footer
• Floats
• Padding
• Navigation Bar
• Images
• Forms

The inclusion of these elements sets a foundation for which other sites and applications can be built. However, using these elements meant familiarizing myself with other elements (i.e., id, padding, margins, sections, links, containers, positioning, classes, and divs) and other elements.

I enjoyed working on this project in order to understand the complexities of web design. The template provides a good foray into simple, but elegant design and easy to use functionality. I have a greater understanding of how I should structure my coding going forward to arrive at the best structure/framework of a website.

The project solves some issues surrounding best practices and/or naming conventions, as it became apparent that how elements are named can add to and confuse the effect on each "variable". From reviewing the code of my peers and instructors, I realized they may have approached the coding from the most straightforward approach thereby reducing the amount of code needed to accomplish the task.

Clone to your local machine and open in your favorite code editor to check it out! Or, visit the deployed version at:

• HTML5
• CSS3

The visitor can access the following items:

• Home/About Page
• Portfolio Page
• Contact Page

One of the "extra" or additional features included were enhanced elements on the Navigation Links to add styling to the buttons in the form of "On Hover" effects.

I started building this website to serve as my portfolio site to showcase my coding projects. However, this project could be adapted to provide a basic framework for any type of basic website. To that end, I hope to achieve some future dated development ideas that will enhance the user engagement with the site.
