June - August 2023
Check it out hereThe first step was to research a general timeline of recorded attitudes and laws regarding LGBTQ individuals. After gathering sources online and compiling my research materials, I decided to separate the findings by continent. Then, I structured the page's basic layout and added information. Furthermore, I defined the color scheme I wanted to use and imported fonts from Google. After creating the landing page, I inserted my findings on the various continents.
To deepen this immersive experience, I added more media elements for users to further connect to subject content and see how the topic interacts with other facets of life. This included a contact message form page; an about page with a table, embedded video, and audio; and a find us page with embedded google maps.
In the final stage of this project, I focused on incorporating media queries specifically designed for tablet and mobile screens. This provided me with valuable insights into the importance of responsive web design and advanced CSS techniques. Through hands-on experimentation, I gained a deeper understanding of how to adapt layouts and styles effectively across different devices. This experience has been instrumental in enhancing my skills and fostering a greater appreciation for the intricacies of web development.
