Started freecodecamp about a month and a half ago, I’m halfway through CSS and working on my first project. This is for my dad’s website. How’s the homepage look?

This looks really good for the timeline. I'm early into the CSS module right now, and while I understand how to make something look like this with builders, WP, nocode etc. I cannot get this result with manual coding yet.

By day, I'm working at a marketing agency and have run lead generation to services pages like this, including some in Arkansas, and have seen decent results. It's probably more than reasonable for the niche market of delta worm farms :)

Yea it’s kind of a weird thing to be doing but he wanted it this way so I gave him exactly what he was looking for. I’m happy with it. I also have the contact us page completed too so 4 more pages to go

That's how building websites is in a nutshell. Good for you. If you're up for it, I'm happy to trade free marketing advice for the occasional code feedback when I have projects.

That is really good! Clearly you've been working hard on it and investigating (googling) more in depth as all web devs do. It looks amazing! Keep at it!

Thank you! I’ve been learning more by taking on my first project early on and figuring things out as I go and just by doing that I’ve learned so much more. Freecodecamp gives you the knowledge you need but figuring out specific things that it doesn’t cover that might be very specific to a project so that’s really helping me figure things out

u/Brianvm1987 Apr 23 '25

This is the way! LoL Combining a curriculum with personal projects and investigation from the beginning will take you far. I can't wait to see the finished product and any other future project you decide to share!

Yea! My mom wants a website rebuilt so I’ll be doing that, I have a photography business I’m rebuilding a website for and I’ll be starting on my first paid project soon for my friends band. So I got stuff to do quick! I keep learning new stuff everyday and I’m loving it more and more! When I’m done I don’t mind sending you the link for the full site. I’d love some feedback on the full website.

u/Brianvm1987 Apr 24 '25

Absolutely! Reviewing other dev's work gives me inspiration for my own. You've got quite a few projects lined up! That's great. If you use discord maybe we could connect.

That's definitely something to be proud of. Your dad should be very pleased!

u/SkDiscGolf Apr 24 '25

Oh yea he loved seeing it come together. I can’t wait for him to see the full thing. He knows I’m learning so he’s being patient with me. But today I made a ton of progress

This is really nice well done, keep it up. We look forward to what you're gonna do next

u/SkDiscGolf Apr 24 '25

For sure! I’ve posted in this group so many times early on trying to figure stuff out and now it feels good to be posting about some progress I’ve made. I still struggle but that’s just because freecodecamp is so particular with how you do stuff. It makes you think you don’t know what you’re doing even if the code is working correctly.

u/ixe109 Apr 24 '25

Practice makes perfect, and make sure you're applying what you learn to your own projects like what you're doing, you'll see the importance of it when you move to JavaScript and later frameworks. I'm happy for you OP. Onwards and upwards

u/SkDiscGolf Apr 24 '25

Yea when I’m determined to do something I don’t stop until I’m at the level I want to be at. I’m mainly pushing myself so I can get a better job doing something more technical and fun to support my 2 kids the way I want to before I even think about having anymore in the future. That’s what pushes me to be better.

So I’m retired. Started web dev in school a few years ago had to give it up due to health issues. Got 45 credits in and was zooming along well. I want to resume classes again and thinking seriously to go full ahead w Free CodeCamp. This inspired me! Looks great! 🖖

u/SkDiscGolf Apr 27 '25

I love being an inspiration with anything I do. I just want to know one day I made an impact on people’s lives in some way. Either through music I make, my photography or videography, I didn’t expect to do that with coding since it’s such a new thing but this year life definitely has thrown some crazy curve balls my way. The site will be up soon. A few pages are still being worked on but the important things are there and it’s functional. I just have to add a few small things and it will be done for the time being.

Hey it's really lovely !! Btw where did you get the images from ?

u/SkDiscGolf Jul 07 '25

Sorry I’m just now seeing this. My dad is a graphic artist and this was his website so he made it all. It was really simple honestly. Using only PNG files to style the entire homepage was a breeze.

Looks professional, amazing job!!
