Design & Development Process
Planning & Design
The design process started with creating wireframes and defining the color palette. I chose a dark theme with green accents (#3d8c40) to create a modern, professional look that's easy on the eyes.
The layout focuses on readability and user experience, with clear navigation, proper spacing, and intuitive project organization.
Technical Implementation
Built with Next.js App Router for optimal performance and SEO. The component structure is modular and reusable, with separate components for the navbar, sidebar, and project cards.
Tailwind CSS provides utility-first styling with custom CSS variables for theme consistency. The site is fully responsive and includes smooth animations using CSS transitions.
