Project Overview

Features

Navigation

• Fixed Navigation Bar: The navigation bar remains fixed at the top of the page while scrolling.
• Animated Navigation Links: Links have a smooth animation effect using jQuery.
• Responsive Burger Menu:
  • When the page width is 480px or less, the navigation links transform into a burger menu.
  • The burger icon is animated with CSS: when closed, it shows three lines; when opened, it transforms into an arrow indicating how to close the menu.
  • When the burger menu is open, the background is blurred. Clicking anywhere on the blurred background closes the menu.

Header

• Intro Section: Includes an introductory message with a JavaScript animation effect using classes.

Skills Section

• Skills Display: Skills are displayed with images (SVG's) and descriptions.
  • Desktop View: Displays 4 images per row.
  • Mobile View: Displays 2 rows with 2 images per row.
• Image Slider:
  • Images are displayed in a slider format using setInterval in JavaScript along with CSS animations.
  • Progress Bar:
    • Dots and connecting lines are generated automatically with JavaScript based on the number of images.
    • Clicking on a dot highlights the corresponding set of images. Each set of 4 images has a dot that becomes highlighted when active.

Projects Section

• Project Display: Shows my work with the same progress bar functionality as the Skills section.

Contact Section

Form Validation

• Each input is validated upon clicking the submit button.
• If an input is not filled, a message is displayed indicating which input needs attention.
• Inputs have placeholders that move to the top when clicked (using CSS focus).
• If an input is not filled and loses focus, the placeholder and bottom border return to their original state.

Form Submission

• Email Submission: When all fields are filled, the form submission is sent to the website owner's email address using PHP and PHPMailer with Composer.
• SMTP Integration: All sensitive data in the PHP file is storred in a config.php file.
• Server-Side Validation: The form undergoes server-side validation to ensure all fields are correctly filled, mirroring client-side validation.
• Error Handling: Users receive toast messages for server errors or internet connection issues.
• Submission Animation: An animation is shown while waiting for the server response during form submission. Once a positive response is received, the animation disappears.

General

• Responsive Design: The website is fully responsive and works on all devices.
• SEO and Social Media Meta Tags: The website includes SEO enhancements and meta tags for better visibility on search engines and social media platforms.
• Webpack Configuration: The project uses Webpack for bundling.
