For the last two days, I’ve been working on a website for The Whisker Shop, my spouse’s cat furniture store we’ve been talking about making for ages. This started out as my capstone for WD4E, but it’s turning into a pretty awesome project: my spouse is also doing a Coursera capstone, but it’s for the project management specialization. So he’ll be focusing on implementing the business’s online presence, and I’m focused on making the website happen. If anyone from Coursera ever reads this, I hope you get a kick out of this capstone crossover collaboration. 🙂
Here is the link to The Whisker Shop’s Codepen, and I post this with the caveat that it will change over time, and will eventually be migrated to a live site. Some features so far:
- Responsive design: mobile first, with an alternate wide screen view
- Currently only utilizes HTML and CSS
- Monochromatic color scheme for accessibility
- Lightbox for displaying photos
- Must pass validators, including accessibility validators
- Minimal JavaScript for simplicity and ease, with a noscript option
- I need to start taking some photos to display!
