How to develop this

Like a normal html/css/js each file can be edited as you like. When switching from one page to another while editing the file - For example if you open the index.html file in your browser to see how it looks and then click on the About Us section it would not work. To test how it would be when in production i.e. the final website here are the steps -

  1. Ensure you have NodeJs installed on your local machine. If you are installing this for the first time please look at nvm to install it.
  2. Open your terminal and run this command npm i -g http-server
  3. Once installed open your terminal in the directory of your index.html file
  4. Run http-server --cors. The cors option allows Cross Origin Resource Sharing. Open your website at your localhost now and you are all set!

Further improving your development experience

After installing and running http-server if you wish for a hot reload function there exists an elegant solution for that too!

  1. Run the following command - npm i -g nodemon
  2. Now once this is installed run this command - nodemon `which http-server` --cors -e html,js,css. This would would hot reload the http-server anytime it detects changes in an .html,.js or a .css file.

Caveat - Only the server hot-reloads you will still have to reload the website on your browser to see the changes.

You are all set to develop this website!

Tools

  1. Crop Photos (Keep image dimensions 851px x 851px) - This should be used to crop images for the team section.
  2. Free Compress - Compress images incase the images are heavy. If you use heavy images the loading time for them will be more.
  3. Cloudinary - Use the free Cloudinary plan to host all your images. This greatly improves loading time for the images.
