My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Vanilla JavaScript
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

This project has pushed me to learn how drop down navigation links work. I learnt a lot about positioning (using relative,absolute interchangeably) and learnt using new JavaScript methods such as .match() and .closest() and target data attributes. I also used CSS Grid to help positioning and sizing my elements more effectively.

Continued development

I will need to get better at laying out my elements, as well as further improving my skills in transform and creating dropdown menus.

Useful resources

• Webdev Simplified - This helped me for the dropdown menu, it gave me a starting point to code out the dropdown menu.
