Journey

This project was a delightful experience that allowed us to dive deep into the theme of the Winter Solstice while refining frontend development skills. Here’s a brief overview of the journey:

• Planning: We began by researching the science, cultural significance, and global traditions associated with the Winter Solstice to inform the structure and content of the website.
• Design: Focused on creating a clean, minimalistic layout with a seasonal aesthetic using CSS.
• Development: Built the landing page entirely with HTML and CSS, emphasizing semantic markup and responsive design.
• Challenges & Learnings: It was a great exercise in designing without JavaScript while achieving interactivity through CSS effects. We also learned to balance accessibility with aesthetics.

Next steps include exploring how JavaScript could be added for interactive features like animations or quizzes without compromising simplicity.
