What this repo is about, and how it was made

• 🚀 This is fleshed out MVP website front-end overhaul for a pet consulting service, Paradigm Pet Professionals.
  
• 🤢 The original site used out-dated web 1.0 design aesthetics and the entire site was filled with misaligned images and broken links.
  
• 🎨 I re-created their front-end complete with new images and a clean, responsive layout in a neo-brutalist design.
  
• ⚙ I created the site strictly with HTML, CSS, and JS written by myself. No libraries or frameworks.
  

Reasoning behind my choices

• 🚀 I prefer to use low-fidelity mockups and jump right into programming to get a feel for what looks good if a design is not handed to me, this allows me to get the initial MVP out faster and iterate faster.
  
• ⚙ I also created custom classes in JavaScript to handle the interactivity of the photo galleries you will find on some of the pages, and the header navigation.

Market Research and UI / UX testing

In addition, I also created:

• A PDF with my initial project proposal, emphasizing stakeholder and user needs.
• The original low-fidelity mockup files created in Figma.
• A Flowchart of the site.

Lessons Learned

• How to more effectively communicate with stakeholders.
• How to identify what users and stakeholders need more effectively.
• How to more effectively handle responsive web pages and refactor old web pages.
• How to better create neo-brutalist designs.
