Heavy deadlines kept me away for a couple of weeks, but there's no way I wasn't coming back to this project as soon as I came up for air. Today, I put some work into the new menu page, mostly into the new secondary header and the banner. I had to add two divs in… Continue reading Back At It

Ta-da!
And just like that, the homepage layout and CSS styling are complete! This, despite a blackout this evening, but I was about done anyway, just some placements to finalise in the footer. Speaking of the footer, I plan to use this layout and styling for the portfolio site I was working on previously. Besides the… Continue reading Ta-da!
It’s the Little Things
I suppose I should thank my daughter for the fact that I got to spend a good portion of today's session hunting for delicious images of cake. (I can also thank her for the birthday cake sitting in my refrigerator, which comes in handy after spending the best part of an hour trolling free stock… Continue reading It’s the Little Things
New Project, Who Dis?
So I had to take a little break to settle my daughter into the first week at a brand-new school and kick-off a hefty freelance writing project, but I've been DYING to get back to it so I could jump into JavaScript review. I'd already promised my daughter that my next website would be about… Continue reading New Project, Who Dis?
Almost There
Once I finished the news page, I spent the rest of this week working on the site's portfolio page and deciding on a layout for the individual project pages. For the portfolio page, I originally used a basic grid layout, but given that the images vary depending on the genre (playbills and film screenshots of… Continue reading Almost There
The Perfect Pic
There's nothing like finding the perfect pic for a project. Sometimes it's hard to describe, but you know it when you see it. Because this project is for production company that does theatre, film and dance productions, I've been trying to hew to that theme, starting with the red curtains on the homepage and linking… Continue reading The Perfect Pic
Progress…
I haven't had time to write an update, but the site is coming along quite well! I finally found a background that worked (think marble) and I redid the logos as planned. After that, I added an "About Us" section to the header and home page with lorem text until I receive the copy. Today… Continue reading Progress…
Gridding It
Since last time, I've been working my way through CSS-tricks.com's grid guide with the aim of shifting to Traversy's crash course while I start building my next project. This time, it'll be a portfolio site for an amazing local production company! Today, I just opened a new repository and framed it out. I had a… Continue reading Gridding It
Finessing the Flex(box)
I left the reinstating fixed positioning on my header for today because just at a glance I could tell that it was going to need some special attention, not just to fit in with the new flexbox positioning in the rest of the page but also because I was using a float on the logo… Continue reading Finessing the Flex(box)
Day ???: Flexbox
One of the most challenging things about my coding journey has been balancing it with everything else I have to do. If I had my way, I'd spend all of my time coding and writing, but the reality is that I'm a single mom navigating a pandemic and launching a consultancy. While that last part… Continue reading Day ???: Flexbox
