    paper Web Designer

    I designed and developed a dynamic eight-page website that combines strategic layout, engaging animation, and custom-coded elements to create a seamless user experience. The site was structured to guide visitors intuitively through key information, with each page thoughtfully designed to maintain visual consistency while highlighting unique content. I incorporated scroll-triggered animations, interactive transitions, and subtle motion effects to enhance engagement without compromising performance. Through custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript enhancements, I implemented tailored features beyond standard templates, ensuring responsive design across devices and optimized load speed. The final result is a polished, modern website that balances aesthetics, functionality, and user-centered design.
