Inspiration
I've been needing to build a portfolio website for a while now and now that I have a custom domain, what better time to start than now!
What it does
This site was built to showcase some of my favorite projects that I've worked on...just in a prettier way than staring at a bunch of code.
How we built it
This site was built using react.js and I decided to try out W3.CSS framework. I use them as a reference when I'm creating in the front end so I thought this would be a great time to try out their CSS framework
Challenges we ran into
Although I used framework for CSS, the biggest challenge for this project was spacing. Margins and padding can be very diva-ish sometimes.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm really proud of getting through this challenge. The biggest part of building this site was planning it; where to put things and what to show. Once I figured that out, it was go time!
What we learned
I learned how to work with images. I don't work with them daily so getting them to behave in React was a bit of new territory for me.
What's next for Custom Website
I plan to continue to build on this site and add projects as I build. Right now it's mostly mock-up but going forward I will personalize it to document my journey as a developer.
Built With
- javascript
- react
- w3.css
