Week 14

14 going on 30

  JULY 18th – 21st

 

I did CSS training using the Adolescent Health and Academic Achievement Study website. I drafted some new designs in Figma and began applying my ideas by editing the site’s CSS files. My end goal is to redesign the website and configure its responsiveness for mobile devices.

 

 

I encountered a setback while working on my website design. The initial concept I had in mind for the navigation menu didn’t align properly with my plan user responsiveness. Although it was a setback, I am determined to overcome this challenge and ensure that my website meets the desired expectations.
