UX
This website is for me, being one of the students of code institute, as I intend to showcase and develop some skills as a side hustle before venturing into it full time as I gain more experience in the software industry.

Features
Home Page
This Section is considered as the landing page, once a customer types in the website, the customer lands on the index page which is the home page. This informs the customer what the website is all about.

Contact Us

Future Improvements
The website will be password enabled so that only registered users could access the website.
I will create an inbuilt chat tool for instant response to customers for their queries and enquiries. Contact Us This section is for those who visit on our website and are interested in our services.
And after logging in, if the site is left inactive for more than 20mins the site will automatically log off due to inactivity.
The website works well however, I need to still study more of the grid system in bootstrap to input it effectively in my website for accurate responsiveness.
The Technologies I have used
HTML W3Schools, for researching the correct html syntax
CSS W3Schools for researching for correct CSS syntax
Icons Font Awesome
Used in the project via downloads Font Google fonts from google developers imbedded into my project
Validators
I used HTML and CSS to validate the web document. When examing the web content with the HTML and CSS Validator, It displayed some errors in general, I then took a thorough look and corrected the errors.
I used Bootstrap to examine the website responsiveness
Testing
Being a customer I would be glad to visit to a landing page that is simple and easy to navigate.
Being a customer, I will like to see the company name at either the header or footer, so I could check its authenticity at the company house before carrying out any business activities.
Being a customer I will like to see a contact form where I could communicate with the company via emails or messages.
As a businessman, I ought to provide links to my social media account, so that clients can see the positive review and the companies community on social media.
As a businessman, I will list out the services I carry out on our Services Section so that the customers can know what to expect from such a business.
More so on the website, our logo is written to show our brand name.
Manual Testing
Home Page
This is the Index page, the landing page, once the domain name is typed in it instantly, brings you to this page, where you could click on the available pictures and preview it on a different page. Also from here you can navigate to other sections which is the about us or contact us page when hovering over these pages the background colour displays in grey with a blue line.
Our Services Section
From the home page navigate to the About us section, click on the images, link to the domain which also opens on a separate page as well as the social media pages. The links to different pages are visible to the right on the navbar. With the varied types of services, we provide carefully placed in four different columns.

It contains the names of different sections of the pages, navbars, a welcome note. and the Logo name, all boldly written out.
Footer Section
To confirm social media icons are working at the footer click on the various icons to see its functions. It contains the name of the company and the designer of the website.
The website is working well and I am still studying the grid system to input it effectively on my website for accurate responsiveness.
Bugs
I noticed that everything works well but times when the page load the words tend to shift to the right-hand side.
Deployment
Deploying the GitHub Pages from my Desktop Log into GitHub. Find a repository that I have previously created such as Sampatbraide/First-milestone-project.github.io and then upload my project to the repository. this will take a couple of minutes. Once the process is completed I can examine it a re-test by ensuring that everything is working as expected.
