Built in April 2021, Elegance was one of my earliest projects when I was just beginning my deep dive into web development. It is a website for a fictional interior design company, designed and coded from scratch. At the time, I was exploring animations, CSS layouts, and smooth user experiences, making this project a pivotal learning experience.
The website was built using:
- Adobe XD for the initial design
- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for development
- Animations on page transitions and interactions to enhance user engagement

A Project That Shaped My Web Development Journey
This project was more than just a website—it was where I learned animations, mastered CSS layouts, and experimented with JavaScript for interactivity. The smooth page transitions and well-structured sections reflect my early passion for creating engaging web experiences.
Even though Elegance was built using only HTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript, it remains a nostalgic milestone in my journey, reminding me of how far I’ve come as a developer.
