Throughout the course of building this website, I periodically tested each page and feature on Desktop/Tablet and Mobile Devices. As far as I am aware, all pages and features including the Tara's Treats Logo, NavBar, Products Section hover effect and clickable Links, the Footer hover effects and clickable links, the Treats section and hover effects including CSS styling rules which hide certain images when viewed on mobile devices and the Contact form are all 100% working on all devices.

There were no errors returned when passing through the official W3C validator.
I also periodically tested the CSS on each page and features to see if the CSS syling rules worked on all devices. As far as I am aware, all pages and features work and appear correctly on each seperate device.
There were no errors found when passing through the official Jigsaw Validator.
The site was deployed to Github pages. The steps I took to deploy were as follows:
- In my GitHub repository, navigate to Settings.
- In code and automation section, click on the Pages button
- In the GitHub Pages section, select Main Branch and root folder and click save.
- From there the page will automatically refresh and a live link will appear.
