This project was a great exercise in familiarizing ourselves with useful properties and experimenting with different values. A few times I would make mistakes like selecting “align-content” instead of “text-align” and not getting the results I expected, but this is fairly easy to realize and resolve. Especially fun was picking out colors for the font, boxes, and borders. CSS Color Codes was very helpful for this. I was surprised by how much the visual appeal of the site could be improved with a few simple properties and values, especially the wide selection of colors. I found it easiest to experiment by adding properties where I thought they might work and then commenting them out if they didn’t, so that I could go back to them if I changed my mind. Also simple is better, both in design and in coding. Adding the color in the format below, for example, makes it much easier to go back and change than adding it individually to each component.
