My process

Built with

• SvelteKit
• SASS
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

• I learnt how to approach UI development using the Mobile-First approach.

• I learnt how to setup SASS on Sveltekit. In addition; I refreshed my knowledge on mixins and variables.

• I learnt how to create a custom responsive navigation bar.

Continued development

• I want to focus on creating more delightful UIs. Adding microinteractions to elements of the UI.

• I want to focus on creating a better responsive navigation bar that fits seamlessly with the entire UI. In this project, the navigation bar pushes elements downwards which definitely needs some improvement.
