I proudly hand-coded this website from scratch using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Built on the framework of flexboxes and utilizing media queries, it scales to screens of any size and especially shines on mobile. I customized the site to be even more interactive using jQuery plugins supporting smooth-scrolling and accordion-style headings.
