My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• React - JS library
• LessCSS - CSS framework

What I learned

Learned how to use LessCSS and what the pros/cons are of it. Also practised using flexbox/grid.

Continued development

Probably going to consider continuing to use LessCSS or trying to learn Stylus, as well as working with a more mobile-first approach as I'm not entirely used to working in mobile-first yet. Although I enjoy using TailwindCSS quite a lot because it speeds up development, it's always good to consider more than one approach depending on what the needs of the project/client are.
