Modest – A landing page
Role: Developer | Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery
DESCRIPTION
Modest is my personal project about web development. I assigned myself to create a fully responsive landing page without using any frameworks. Because the main purpose of this project is to improve my coding skills so I started looking at some free high-fidelity wireframes so that I could start coding right away. I found this modest template with PSD format and I decided to transfer it to a responsive landing page web style.
PROCESS
The first step is called “slicing PSD”. This work required a meticulosity and an understanding on using Adobe Photoshop. From the Psd file I gathered all the assets I needed( Fonts, Images, Icons).
Next step, I used the grid to divide the image so that I could layout the page and have a comprehensive look at how to arrange assets effectively using HTML and CSS.
On this step, I displayed all the assets by using HTML, CSS and tried to make everything looks the exact same as the psd image with as less code as possible.
Last step, I quick sketched some low-fidelity wireframes for smaller devices and made it fully responsive on 3 devices ( Desktop, Tablet, Mobile) with CSS, Javascript and jQuery.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Through this project, I learned not only coding skills, but also the discipline when I tried to make a pixel-perfect web development
During the process of making this landing page, I learned advanced CSS and some useful tricks which elevated my coding much more than before
Making this responsive landing page helps me to understand more about front-end development works and inspires me to become a web-developer in the future
