Case study

Ten page static site

A ten page site written in plain HTML and CSS with no framework, no preprocessor and no build step, as the front-end coursework for the web engineering module.

Overview

Ten pages, hand written, no tooling. The front-end coursework that sat alongside the web engineering project.

Complexities tackled

Consistency across ten pages with no components. With nothing to import and nothing to template, every page carries its own copy of the shared markup, and keeping them consistent is entirely a discipline problem. It is a useful thing to have felt, because it is precisely the pain that every component system exists to remove.

Layout without a framework. Doing this by hand is what makes the box model, stacking and flow stop being trivia and start being things you can reason about when a layout misbehaves years later.

Stack

HTML and CSS.

Tell me what you are building and what is in the way. I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
