Huddle landing page with alternating feature blocks challenge on Frontend Mentor.

Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

View the optimal layout for the site depending on their device’s screen size
See hover states for all interactive elements on the page

My process

Built with

Semantic HTML5 markup
CSS custom properties
Flexbox
CSS Grid
Mobile-first workflow
React – JS library
Styled Components – For styles

What I learned

Using this project I learnt how to use styled components
instead of regular css… still needs some practice for faster workflow.
I realised when working with such layouts, its best to use grid for
sections that easily change their layout per different screen-sizes.
Its also worth noting that the use of grids can allow for easy
responsiveness without having to use any media queries
See example below

<div className="container">
  <div className="item"></div>
  <div className="item"></div>
  <div className="item"></div>
  <div className="item"></div>
</div>

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));
}

Useful resources

react-icons – This helped me for
easily add svgs icons to my page. I really liked this pattern and will use it
going forward.
