Frontend Challenge - December Edition, Glam Up My Markup: Winter Solstice

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - December Edition, Glam Up My Markup: Winter Solstice

What I Built

I created a Winter Solstice-themed landing page featuring a pink-toned neumorphic design. The goal was to transform the provided static HTML markup into a visually appealing, interactive, and accessible design that captures the magic and warmth of the Winter Solstice.

Key Features:

  • Neumorphic Aesthetic: A soft, modern, and consistent pink theme with glowing accents to mimic the mystical feel of the solstice.
  • Accessibility: The design includes high-contrast interactive elements, smooth navigation, and a responsive layout optimized for all devices.
  • Creative Background Art: Subtle abstract decorations and gradients enhance the overall aesthetic without overwhelming the content.
  • Interactive Elements: Smooth scrolling navigation and hover animations to make the page lively.
