Established a maintainable CSS architecture using :root custom properties for colors, typography, and spacing values. This approach creates a single source of truth for design tokens, making the codebase more scalable and easier to maintain.
Also implemented custom typography with @font-face declarations to ensure consistent brand presentation across all browsers and devices.
Worked with layered background compositions using background-image, background-color, and background-position properties to achieve the required visual effects.
Customized list styling by replacing default markers with SVG graphics through ::before pseudo-elements, requiring careful attention to spacing and alignment.
Implemented interactive button states with hover effects, and visible outlines using CSS offset properties for active states.
Built the layout using a mobile-first methodology, progressively enhancing the design for larger viewpoints through strategic media queries.
Combined CSS Grid and Flexbox to create flexible, content-aware layouts that adapt seamlessly across device sizes.
Implemented viewport constraints using max-width to prevent layout degradation on ultra-wide displays.
Utilized CSS Grid for structural page layouts while leveraging Flexbox for component-level content arrangement.
Implemented dynamic content reordering using flex-order properties to optimize information hierarchy across different screen sizes. This approach allows the same HTML structure to present different visual flows depending on the viewport.
Used Chrome DevTools device simulation into the development process for comprehensive cross-device testing. This systematic approach to responsive testing ensures consistent user experience across the full spectrum of device sizes and orientations.
- Interactive Elements: Hover and active states for all buttons
- Fully Responsive: Seamless experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop
- Optimized Layout: Some content reorders appropriately for different screen sizes
- Custom Styling: SVG list markers and custom typography
Challenge: Replacing default list markers with custom SVG graphics created significant layout alignment issues. The initial implementation resulted in inconsistent spacing, misaligned icons, and disrupted line heights that compromised the visual hierarchy of the list content.
Technical Learning: This challenge provided deep insight into CSS pseudo-element behavior and the box model. Understanding how ::before elements interact with their parent containers and how to properly position and size them required careful consideration of display properties, positioning contexts, and spacing calculations.
Resolution: Implemented a solution using ::before pseudo-elements with precise positioning and spacing adjustments. Fine-tuned the relationship between the pseudo-element dimensions, and the parent list item to achieve the perfect alignment with the text content.
Challenge: The subscription section's CSS Grid implementation failed (for the desktop version) to achieve design specification where the middle column should expand proportionally while maintaining fixed outer column widths. Standard Grid auto-sizing algorithms distributed space equally rather than allowing selective column expansion.
Technical Learning: This exposed the importance of choosing the appropriate layout method for specific design requirements. While CSS Grid excels at complex two-dimensional layouts, Flexbox provides superior control for one-dimensional space distribution scenarios.
Resolution: Replaced the Grid layout with Flexbox for the desktop viewport, and utilized flex-grow on the middle column to achieve the desired proportional sizing behavior. This solution maintained the responsive design integrity while meeting the exact design specifications.
