517 DESIGN | 2023 | Non-CMS, Hand-coded, CSS3, HTML5, PHP, & JS

My Role: Sole Website Design and Development, including hand-coding the HTML5, CSS3, PHP, JavaScript, and Graphic Design.

Project Description: I designed and developed my company website to showcase my work through hand-coding using HTML5, CSS3, PHP, and JavaScript. I created a dynamic, single-page layout where all primary information is condensed and categorized into five sections, enhancing user experience and navigation. Utilizing PHP, I embedded repetitive sections to facilitate quick global changes while the CSS adheres to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle for optimization and maintainability. Using AJAX, I integrated a portfolio section that allows users to browse all items within a category seamlessly without refreshing the page. This project highlights my ability to create a visually appealing and functionally robust website from scratch.

Challenge: Develop a web form for this non-WordPress website without using a plugin or embedding a pre-built form package.

Solution: I created a custom PHP SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) form to send the submitted information to my email. This involved developing the HTML form and writing a PHP script to manage the form submission and email delivery through my SMTP server
