Module #5

My main goal was pretty simple: I wanted to make a website that is easy to use and shows off my work well. I also wanted it to be easy for people to get in touch with me. I kept the design simple and clear so that it would be easy to use without being too busy or confusing. The goal was to make sure that visitors could easily find what they needed.

Before I started coding, I made a rough wireframe of how the site would look. I decided that the homepage should have a header, a navigation menu, a main content area, and a footer. In the navigation bar, I put links to different parts of my site, such as my portfolio modules and a contact page. This step in the planning process really helped me get my thoughts in order and think about how visitors might move around the site. I think this is often missed but very useful.

Of course, I ran into some common problems, just like with any other web project. One thing that kept happening was broken links. For example, when I clicked on internal pages like contact.html, I got a 404 error. It’s likely because the file names don’t match or the files are in the wrong place. This happens when you have a lot of folders open at once. To fix it, I had to check the filenames again, make sure everything was in the right place, and make sure the links were exactly right. It sounds easy, but I’ve learned that little mistakes or misplaced files can really mess things up.
