π Getting Started
I began with a simple idea β to showcase my coding and design work to the world. I planned out the structure: Home, Projects, Experience, Skills, Contact, and Blog.
π» Writing Code
Using HTML and CSS as my base, I added interactivity with JavaScript. I made it responsive, mobile-friendly, and used custom animations. I used VS Code as my main editor and hosted projects with Firebase.
π¨ Design & Branding
For the visuals, I used Figma to plan the layout and Adobe Photoshop for logo design. The color palette and fonts were carefully picked to match the βBORG DEVβ identity.
π Hosting with Firebase
After testing everything, I deployed my site using Firebase Hosting. It was simple, fast, and reliable. The live version went online at borgdevweb.web.app.
π’ Promotion
I promoted my site on Instagram, YouTube, Dev.to , Reddit , Linkedin. I even created reels and Shorts to showcase parts of my site and my creative work. It helped me get views and feedback!
π‘ Lessons Learned
- Plan before coding
- Design matters as much as development
- Promotion is key to getting discovered
- Consistency builds brand
π Conclusion
It was an amazing learning experience. I got better at HTML, CSS, JS, design tools, and learned how to deploy and promote a real-world project. I canβt wait to improve this even more!
