Project Overview

This project was a lot of work. I wanted to practice my React skills, so I used Next.js and TailwindCSS. I also wanted to practice retrieving dynamic data and decided to use a CMS.

I initially had trouble getting used to Next.js 13's app routing, but after reading the docs and watching a tutorial it became pretty easy. I only had to create one component for the project detail pages, thanks to Next.js's dynamic routing.

I also was able to styling the page quickly thanks to TailwindCSS. Importing the custom fonts was very simple thanks to Next.js.

The biggest challenge was the backend. I decided to use SanityIO as the CMS, since this website could be used as a template for non-coding users. I got stuck a few times writing the queries, but with some research and patience I solved my bugs.

I accidentally published my repo with the project id initially, but I remembered to place it in an .env file locally and added it to Vercel before deploying.

Completing this challenge has given me the confidence to develop more complex projects. I enjoy building user-friendly and reusable projects, so I would like to delve into theme or template development for e-commerce or portfolio sites.

• I used a lot of arbitrary values in my styling, so I think that I will refactor those in the future and define them in the TailwindCSS theme.

• I would also like to add some interactions and animations to improve the user experience
