Front-End Development, Web Design

April 2024

I wanted to develop an interactive, user-focused webpage showcasing advanced front-end functionality through jQuery and JavaScript. The work involved integrating a jQuery widget or plugin to enhance engagement, implementing AJAX to dynamically load data from an external API or JSON file, and using web storage to save and retrieve user information for a more personalized experience.

This work was inspired by modern, interactive brand websites that prioritize user engagement and seamless functionality. Drawing from examples like Converse.com and jQuery UI interfaces, the design incorporates dynamic elements such as carousels, API-driven content, and web storage to create a personalized and responsive experience. The goal was to deliver a polished, user-friendly solution that aligns with the client’s vision for an engaging and modern digital presence.

The process began with planning the site’s structure and identifying key interactive elements that would enhance the user experience using Figma. I integrated a jQuery plugin to create a smooth image carousel, ensuring the visuals felt dynamic and engaging. Using AJAX, I connected to a JSON file to load content asynchronously, keeping the page lightweight and responsive. To personalize the experience, I implemented web storage, allowing user data to be saved and retrieved seamlessly across sessions. Throughout development, I focused on clean, maintainable code and consistent styling, ensuring the final product balanced technical performance with an intuitive user interface.

The project was completed on time and met all functional goals using jQuery, AJAX, and web storage. While JavaScript was challenging, the final product performed as intended and showcased the required functionality. With more time, I would refine the design and add features, but overall, the project strengthened my JavaScript skills and delivered a solid, user-focused result viewable through the project link or GitHub repository.
