Final Project · Creating a Single-Page Website

Instruction

Doc 1.1 MIB of the module

In this web design project, we will create a single-page website dedicated to our favorite topic. The website should have at least five sections explaining the topic in an engaging and meaningful way, and include one call-to-action (CTA) button. The design should reflect our chosen topic with an appropriate color scheme and fonts, and feature a visually appealing layout with a balance of text and multimedia. Ensure the site is responsive and mobile-friendly. Implement smooth scrolling navigation or a simple menu for easy access to different sections. Additionally, consider adding interactive elements like image sliders, hover effects, or lightboxes to enhance user engagement.

Reflection

| Experience |
Creating a fanpage for No Party For Caodong was an exciting and challenging endeavor for me. The lecturer's clear directions and the abundance of internet resources proved beneficial. The prior challenge helped me improve my core abilities and made me more comfortable with coding. Despite this, I had to balance the time allocated to this endeavor with other academic responsibilities, which caused considerable stress.

| Observation | 
One significant takeaway from this project was the significance of a well-organized content structure. Starting with a precise HTML layout made the CSS styling process go more smoothly than my last work. However, I encountered difficulties with sophisticated CSS methods and responsive design, which took more effort to understand and apply. 

| Findings | 
This task emphasized the importance of understanding both HTML and CSS in order to construct a visually pleasing and functional website. I decided that devoting more effort to mastering responsive design concepts and sophisticated CSS methods will greatly improve the quality of my work. Furthermore, greater time management tactics are required to guarantee that I can fulfill all of my academic obligations without being stressed.
