Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing well.
I would to share my first ever webdesign project. This is my portfolio/showcase website, built predominantly with HTML CSS and some Vanilla JavaScript.
Below is my website introduction video.

Initially I started this project in an attempt to use this website to apply for a software developer apprenticeship training program scheme but alas I couldn’t meet the deadline and I also felt that I should probably take some time to better understand JavaScript.
The website took me about two weeks to make and was a very educational and eye opening experience. It was also my first time experimenting with GitHub, its still a bit confusing to be honest but if anything this experience showed me that YouTube really is a great learning platform, normally I just use it to watch funny anime/cat videos but it has an amazing, helpful and very encouraging coding/software development community which was honestly a lovely side of YouTube to see.
In addition to this, I was intrigued and impressed with the amount of portfolio/showcase website examples I could find on YouTube. And also equally impressed with the amount of effects, transitions and website designs you can create with just HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I’m definitely feeling very inspired and intend to keep on learning and hopefully become fully fluent in JavaScript and other coding languages.
Long story short, am I upset I couldn’t meet the application deadline for the apprenticeship program? Not really. I feel this is exactly the experience I needed to see what I can improve in terms of coding and learning more languages and I’m feeling excited and inspired to go forward and create more webdesign projects.
Side note: funnily, the hardest part when building the website wasnt even the website itself, it was recording the voiceover for my intro vid and I'm even not someone who hates the sound of my voice (at least not usually) but I'd be lying if I said it was a easy and enjoyable experience.
Asides from that, thank you for watching/reading. Wishing you a lovely day!🤗
