A developer shares their journey of regaining confidence in front-end development by working on a project from the Frontend Mentor platform. The project involved building a Huddle landing page with curved sections, focusing on HTML and CSS skills. The developer organized the code into three CSS files for better readability and maintainability. They built the webpage using a component-driven layout and made it responsive by learning about new HTML tags, fluid layouts, and breakpoints. Testing and optimization were done using tools like CanIuse and Google Lighthouse, focusing on performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO. The project is now open source on GitHub and deployed on Netlify, with improvements welcome. The developer gained confidence in building landing pages and making them responsive, and they plan to continue sharing their story and values in future blogs.
