Journey

The inspiration for this project came from the universal significance of the solstice. I wanted to present both scientific facts and cultural diversity through a modern and engaging interface. The project allowed me to:

Enhance my frontend skills using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Experiment with smooth animations, responsive design, and interactive elements.

Learn about optimizing user navigation with smooth scrolling and dynamic buttons.

Here’s how the project evolved:

1. HTML: Structured content for clarity and semantic accuracy.

2. CSS: Enhanced the design with gradient backgrounds, animations, and responsive layouts.

3. JavaScript: Brought the page to life with interactive navigation and scroll-triggered effects.

I am proud of the smooth animations, responsive design, and scroll-to-top feature, which ensure a delightful user experience. Future improvements could include adding a carousel of solstice imagery or integrating API-based data for live solstice tracking.
