I completely revamped the design of my portal page. I worked on modernizing the overall layout and creating a more user-friendly design, making it cleaner and more intuitive. By using grid systems and flexible layouts, I ensured that the design is responsive across all devices. I also prioritized simplifying the navigation to focus on the most-used sections of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent time enhancing my parallax effect as well. By having images and text move at different speeds, I was able to create a dynamic and engaging experience. I paid close attention to performance to ensure the parallax effect didn\u2019t slow down the page. Additionally, I integrated Sass into my workflow to make my style sheets more efficient. By using variables, mixins, and nested structures, I was able to write more organized and maintainable CSS. This allowed me to avoid repetitive code and create a cleaner structure for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The feedback I received helped me improve my design even further. I refined the color choices and typography on the portal page. I also noticed that the parallax effect wasn\u2019t performing well on some mobile devices, so I optimized it for better performance. These types of feedback are crucial in helping me improve the design to be more polished and user-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the techniques I\u2019ve learned over the past two weeks have made my projects more professional. The combination of parallax, Sass, and responsive design has made my designs more modern, dynamic, and user-friendly. I plan to continue improving and refining these skills in the coming weeks to finalize my projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>PS: I\u2019m beyond excited to be attending an industry event like Figma Config 2025 with a scholarship ticket.
