How to Create an Image Gallery using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (Project 5)

An image gallery is a key feature for many websites, enhancing portfolios, e-commerce products, and family photos. This guide will show you how to create a responsive image gallery using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. First, set up the HTML structure by creating a gallery container and a close modal structure. Next, style the gallery with CSS, applying basic styles, creating a gradient text, a responsive grid layout, hover effects for images, and styling the modal for enlarged images. Add interactivity with JavaScript by creating functions to open and close the modal and making images clickable. Ensure the gallery is responsive and optimize it for performance by using image optimization techniques and lazy loading images. Finally, add any final touches and enhancements.
