First milestone project: Han.YJ | Space.
This is a concise blog website with a related landing page to fit for both private and public usage, based on the "less is more" designing mentality.
And differentiate itself from lots of blogs with too much information and function in the same page, which in the end lead to an underemphasized blog page viewing effect.
The project is mainly consist of two parts:
- landing page with a brief self-introduction and contact form
- blog navigation page and the blog pages
The blog user is me, who is the writer and operator.
The main targeted audiences are people who also programming from zero or who intend to start to learn it.
This website is build under the purpose of
- setting up my own space to record my growing path to Full Stack Developer
- summarize learning results regularly and share out
- learn and help other to learn
- get feedback from audience, as well as possibilities for connections
The top three purpose are realized by blog pages while the last purpose can be realized by the landing page.
For writer, as the blog navigation page and blog pages are already built, it is easy to use them as template, create new blogs and update the navigation page.
For audience, the blog page and landing page are clearly separated. They can either browse the blog navigation page and find content they need, or being quickly informed by writer intend, or get connected in multiple ways.
