Reflection/Lessons Learned:

Creating this website taught me all the basics of HTML and CSS. I became comfortable with using divisions, headers, subheaders, lists, and classes to style and format the text and background. I also learned how to create clickable links that take the user to an intended website. I used bootstrap to import icons, ensuring I use the correct keywords to reference them. All in all, this website taught me the fundamentals of HTML/CSS and I gained hands-on experience with applying the lessons learned. Also, the website serves as a resume, so I hit two birds with one stone! Initially, this website was a multi-page website for an imaginary restaurant (for a school project). I intended to modify it to create this resume website. However, it became too complex. So, I started from scratch to create this one. I will upload my restaurant website to Behance soon to showcase that as well. Starting from scratch gave me the opportunity to learn from my mistakes from my first website. This time around, I was able to make things neater and more organized, including the written code. I learned that it's not a bad thing to create many divs. Initially, I tried to avoid this, which only led to more problems. I created many divs, most of them inside another div. This allowed me to section everything the way I want to without affecting outside members. Also, the code is still clean, readable, and manageable. This was a valuable lesson learned and should save me time moving forward. Initially, I used the "absolute" value for positioning in many of my classes. After receiving feedback from personal friends using different devices and browsers, I realized I should try to use the "relative" value. This way, the website performs as consistently as possible amongst a wide variety of devices and browsers. I want my websites to be as accessible as possible, and this lesson learned certainly helps in achieving that.
