HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the building blocks of the World Wide Web even though they aren’t traditional programming languages. These are some of the simplest tools to learn and demonstrate which is fantastic. You should work on at least one project to see your skills and learn more than just the basics of coding. With these eight projects you can show off your HTML and CSS skills while also improving them.
Personal Website
Beginners in HTML and CSS often find it challenging to create their websites. It is a challenging task that tests many of the skills you’ve learned. A great way to showcase your GitHub account and resume is by including them on your website.
Many beginners building websites often choose Squarespace or WordPress to manage the tricky aspects. You can improve your coding and writing skills with these tools. You can also create a website from the beginning to test your skills.
If you have a website you can showcase all your work. In the beginning you can share information about yourself, provide your contact details and include links to your other work. You can attach links to your social media pages and more details about your business and services at the bottom.
Tribute Page
A memory page is a single webpage that shares positive things about someone you look up to. This project is a simple way to showcase your skills since you only need to understand the basics of HTML and CSS to complete it.
The key feature of a memorial page is the person’s photo. To do it correctly you need to understand technology design and small details well. Pick background colors that match the picture nicely.
The name of the subject is as important as the image and the logo often uses various styles and colors to make it noticeable. A memorial page includes links ways for people to contact the person being honored and a few sentences about them.
Survey Form
In a survey project you will be evaluated on your knowledge and your ability to use interesting tools. This project includes everything related to user interface and user experience such as collecting and sharing user feedback. We will use tags like labels, radio buttons, text areas and checkboxes.
Your poll doesn’t need to ask about real events or save any results in a database. You can use empty text to demonstrate your ability to set up a blog correctly. You can create a dynamic form that adjusts the information based on the screen size.
Landing Page
Another type of one page website is called a landing page and it is used for marketing. The goal is to encourage people to visit or call a business. On websites optimized for search engines a landing page is usually the first thing visitors see.
You can use analytics to see how effective your landing page is. It is important to get as many people as possible to engage with it. It may seem simple but creating a landing page by yourself can be very challenging.
For this project you should be smart and make good use of all the HTML skills you have. To create styles that look good on different screens you need to learn how to use CSS. Your main page should be engaging and easy to use so that people want to stay and interact with it.
Event Page
At first, an event page looks similar to the other projects on this list. The button people can click to sign up for the event is what makes it special. Another important thing to notice is the connections to the website, the schedule, and the guests.
You have to pack a lot of information into a small space for this job. Your event page should clearly explain its purpose and, if you can, how it can benefit people. Photos can show the theme, location, and guests of the event.
To create an event page, you should learn how to use HTML and CSS to divide the page into different sections. There should be a clickable menu at the top and additional information at the bottom.
Restaurant Website
Using the right colors on a restaurant’s website makes the food and drinks look more appealing to people. If you hover your mouse over a meal picture, a menu will appear showing the price and availability. This project lets you display your layout skills. For example, you can use slides with pictures to display the restaurant’s food. You can organize the food using a CSS grid or Flexbox. You can make your site more enjoyable by adding easy effects to buttons and images.
Clone Of Video-sharing Site
To test your HTML and CSS skills, try copying a website. It requires the most time and effort to complete. People often imitate websites that seem complicated and professional, such as those where you can watch videos like YouTube and Netflix.
To copy a website, the first step is to take screenshots of its user interface, focusing on the interactive parts. Then, you apply your skills to ensure that all parts of the website look and feel consistent.
Your website should include search features, areas for comments, communication channels, and payment options. You can also add an HTML5 video background to your page, similar to what film sites use.
The way this project was put together demonstrates how large professional web development teams think. To view the HTML and CSS source code for these websites, use your computer browser’s “Inspect” tool.
Parallax Website
Nowadays, when you scroll down a page, the background moves more slowly than what you are looking at. This art style is called parallax sliding. A parallax website is a simple project for beginners, even though it looks impressive.
Split your page into three or four sections, and use a different background image for each one to create an appealing scrolling effect. The key to creating a parallax website is to use the background-attachment: fixed CSS property with the correct images.
Website builders like Wix, WordPress, and Elementor help beginners quickly create parallax websites. These tools make it easier to create a parallax effect without having to learn everything from the beginning.
