The Workshop: Plan Your Page

Create a Structure for Your ‘About Me’ Page

Before you build your page, it’s important to know what you want to build and how your elements relate. We’ll work together to build individual plans for your personal page.

Dive into Page Build

We’ll use Glitch as a framework for building your page allowing you to see your creation as you go.

You’ll be implementing basic coding principles and lightly styling your page to get it the look and feel you desire.
