Inspiration

We were inspired by our interest in learning new technologies as well as being able to design a website that could help introduce us to said technologies. We also just feel that portfolio websites are important to have as it makes it a lot easier to showcase our past work and projects.

What it does

This site is a team portfolio website that would allow others to easily see a concise introduction to ourselves and our experiences.

How we built it

We used HTML, CSS, and Python as well as the jinja and flask extensions to develop and design our site and its functionality. HTML and CSS were used to organize the design of our site, and we used jinja's inheritance features to reuse parts of our code and to allow the user to easily navigate our site. We used Python and flask to help connect the different pages together, as well as keep each of our information pages separate from each other. We were able to create this separation by using different HTML files which had the same style and format for visual consistency.

Challenges we ran into

There was a bit of a learning curve near the beginning as we were becoming accustomed to the new technologies. For instance, jinja, flask, and good git practices. Especially for git, we ran into some issues when trying to pull our code as we usually had to deal with merge issues that arose after.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of how our website looks and functions, as it took us a while to come up with solutions that achieved what we envisioned with this site. It was really cool to see how a design that was drawn out actually got implemented in code form. Furthermore, I think we learned the new technologies fairly quickly and efficiently dealt with any errors that came up.

What we learned

We were able to learn how to use the previously mentioned technologies efficiently to develop and store our code. We both got a lot more comfortable with Python Flask and Github.

What's next for Portfolio Website - Mario Zuniga and Kayla Fang

We could add links to our projects and pictures/videos of them so that others can have a preview of our work. Furthermore, if we had more time, we would work on making an interactive map. Right now, we just have pictures of the places that we have previously visited.
