Welcome to my landing page.
I would like to share with you the following projects. They have been created as a way to help me understand front-end Web design. Follow along to get an idea of what we are doing.
Main course projects

My First Page
My First Page is where my web design journey began. The title says it all, firsts for everything.
I learned about key elements of an HTML markup that make up a basic web page. Including but not limited to HTML hierarchy, HTML tags, and list types. I also learned some basic inline CSS markup to give the page a little style.

Squint Studio Build-Along
Squint Studio build-along is a progressive building block that expands on HTML, and its symbiotic relationship with CSS.
We are also learning richer elements like navigation bars, CSS style sheets, linkable content, and so much more.
I have definitely gained a better understanding of the design idea behind HTML and CSS. HTML may be a lot like the skeleton. But the skeleton does not make the being, nor can the being exist without the skeleton. The relationship between HTML and CSS is essential and vital to the behavior and experience of the site.
A few key highlights from the Squint Studio build-along:
- Nesting CSS in HTML
- Using nested CSS to add behavior to the HTML that was not possible before
- The importance of file managment
- How to link to directory content
- How to link to pages in the same website
- How to link to pages anywhere on the web
- How to upload your work to the World Wide Web
