I have some time before finishing my Masters in Technology Management but I wanted to get started on my company as I have had inquiries on building websites. In fact, I have been helping people with their Wix website. My goal after completing my studies is to help small businesses with their IT needs including building their website. In college, I became knowledgeable on coding using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript yet I found myself using the online resources a lot. I also used Adobe Dreamweaver in college but I don't have that software. Also, I have used Content Management System such as WordPress in my studies and even added a WordPress page to be used as a blog on BardsOfBroward.com. Since last year, I became familiar with another CMS -- Wix since some clients liked the templates.
Yet for my new website, I didn't want to use a CMS so I dusted off my notes and perused online for the effects that I wanted. First, I coded with HTML5 and CSS then verified with the W3C Markup Validation Service. I uploaded it but it lacked pizazz and a contact form. PHP was not my friend in school and it made me wish that I used a CMS for the contact form. I also added some JavaScript for some animation effects. I realized that with all the things that I learnt, without practice, it fades and I really had to research, think about the logic and why does the code do this!
Here are some of the resources that I used:
- https://www.w3schools.com/
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
- https://validator.w3.org/
- https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display

- notes, code snippets from my Broward College classes, such as CTS 1851, CTS 1806, CTS 2852 and CTS 2857 (2016-2017)
