Tools / Technologies Used
The Challenge
Building a fully responsive website without using frameworks like Bootstrap was the core challenge.
Key constraints included:
- Manual handling of layouts and breakpoints
- Maintaining consistent design across devices
- Ensuring performance and simplicity
The Approach
To solve this, I implemented:
- Custom CSS media queries for responsiveness
- Flexible layouts using percentage-based sizing
- Clean HTML structure for scalability
- jQuery for lightweight interactivity
This approach ensured full control over design behavior across devices.
Development Strategy
The project followed a static architecture approach:
- Semantic HTML for structure
- CSS3 for layout and responsiveness
- JavaScript/jQuery for dynamic behavior
- Organized file structure for scalability
