My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow
• TypeScript
• React - JS library
• Gatsby.js - React framework
• Styled Components - For styles

What I learned

While building this website from the Figma design, I learned many things. This is the second project that I have built from someone else's design, and I

I learned:

• How to use Styled Components, a tool I had never used before
• How to create a TypeScript declaration file for imported image assets
• About the partiallyActive prop that allows Gatsby Links to be active when the user is inside a nested route

Continued development

In the future, I would like to write automated tests for my code. I will always probably do some manual QA, but understanding how to write good tests is essential to being a good developer, especially if someone wants to work on a large or impactful project.
