Recently, I built a lightweight, dark and moody website template designed for cafes, coffee shops, and bakeries using only clean HTML5 and CSS3 — no JavaScript required!

Here is a quick breakdown of the project and how it was built.

🛠️ Key Features

3 Pages Included: Home (Hero & About), Full Menu, and Gallery.
Pure HTML & CSS: Fast loading times and beginner-friendly structure.
CSS Variables: Easy color palette customization from a single place.
Fully Responsive: Adapts smoothly across mobile, tablet, and desktop views.

🎯 What I Learned & Used

Semantic HTML5: Built using standard <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, and <footer> tags for better SEO and accessibility.
CSS Grid & Flexbox: Used Flexbox for layout alignment and CSS Grid for the gallery section.
Responsive Design: Implemented media queries to ensure navigation and menu layouts remain fluid on smaller screens.
