My Final Project

I built a simple static website to be the virtual home for my wedding. Although we've had to push the date back a year, I'm proud of what I've been able to do with it so far and look forward to update it once we're able to start planning again.

The goal was to create a light and minimal yet information rich website to act as a virtual home for our wedding. We wanted to showcase our love story as well as share moments throughout our time together.

In the months leading up to the wedding, our hope was for the website to have all the information and details to answers questions our guests might have. Additionally, we created a place to share our story and highlights some of our favorite pictures over the years.

For the day of the wedding, the website will continue to serve its informational purpose by hosting relevant information to the event in a new section. From having the schedule to table assignments, we hope to eliminate paper waste and save money by using a virtual platform.

How I built it (what's the stack? did I run into issues or discover something new along the way?)

This site was created using Jekyll with hosting on GitHub Pages. It’s based on Minimal Mistakes. I learned static site hosting and setting up DNS settings to a domain. This project allowed me to dive deeper into front end development and put my HTML/CSS knowledge into practice. Through media queries and flexboxes, I was able to accomplish responsiveness without any fancy logic. Additionally, I was able to explore site metrics and statistics through the use of Google Analytics to track how people were using our site as invitations went out.
