Migrations

Inspiration

Technically I was inspired by the prompt, animals on land and sea. This led me to come up with the idea of migrations as the main point of my project.

What it does

It's a website that lists a few animals and gives a short text blurb about how and where they migrate.

How we built it

I built it using HTML and CSS for the website. Additionally, I used an SQL database to store information about each animal so I could use it in their descriptions. PHP was used to implement the database.

Challenges we ran into

A big challenge I ran into was scaling. Upon shrinking and re-sizing the window, all the elements would layer on top of each other and clog up the screen. I solved this by using @media in the CSS to change the size of items depending on the screen size.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud of how the website visually turned out even if it's not the most functional. I'm also proud of my use of a database to take information and display it. Especially re-using one page to display multiple animals depending on a variable in the url.

What we learned

I refined my HTML, CSS PHP, and SQL skills and learned to seamlessly use them together to make a clean website

What's next for Migrations

I was planning on adding a map to display the routes of the animals, but due to complications, couldn't. However, that would be a great next step in this project for me.
