Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• Receive an error message when the form is submitted if:
  • Any field is empty
  • The email address is not formatted correctly
• View the optimal layout for the interface depending on their device's screen size
• See hover and focus states for all interactive elements on the page
• Bonus: Hook the form up so it sends and stores the user's enquiry (you can use a spreadsheet or Airtable to save the enquiries)
• Bonus: Add your own details (image, skills, projects) to replace the ones in the design

What I learned

My goal was to produce a fast, performant, accissible and responsive website, and discover CSS latest technologies. I learnt about and used CSS Native Nesting, Container Queries etc. I also learnt how to analyse CSS Code Complexity and used Project Wallace to improve my CSS code and I got 100% score in all CSS code quality sections 🎉 I learnt about HTML Form client-side validation and JavaScript Constraint Validation API. I kept Accessibility in my mind during every stage of development. I used Wave Evaluation Tool to test my site and ensured no errors or alerts related to accessibility. I also used Google Chrome devtools to measure many aspects of my site's performance and scored 100% in LightHouse 🎉

This is good for now and later I'm going to publish a detailed article about what I've learnt.
