#DEPLOYMENT:

The project was developed using AWS Cloud9 IDE which is web based. The developer created a local GitHub repository and periodically saved the project files to it. At the end of the project, the developer created a project on GitHub and uploaded the web site to that location. To test the project in a deployment, the developer set up GitHub Pages and associated the uploaded project with it.

To run the web site locally, the developer used the cloud 9 Preview function for each page. Preview opens a window and displays the image in it. For simplicity, the developer readily changed the size by placing the cursor on the left side of the simulated screen window and moving it either left or right.

When pages were more robust, the developer clicked the upper right icon which opened a inspect function. Inspect mode enabled the developer to test the image on simulated devices with various screen sizes, view the code and
