This is a submission for Frontend Challenge v24.04.17, Glam Up My Markup: Earth Day Celebration Landing Page
What I Built
I designed and implemented a responsive and interactive landing page to celebrate Earth Day. The goal was to create an engaging user experience that raises awareness about environmental issues. The page features custom animations, interactive elements like quizzes, and dynamically loaded SVG graphics that represent different aspects of Earth and environmental care.

Journey
The journey to create this landing page was both challenging and rewarding. I learned a lot about CSS animations and how to use SVG effectively to enhance web design. One of the challenges I faced was ensuring the site remained accessible despite the dynamic content, which I addressed by adhering to WCAG guidelines.
I'm particularly proud of the interactive quiz feature, which educates users about Earth Day while engaging them in the content. Moving forward, I plan to add more interactive elements and perhaps a real-time event section to promote local Earth Day events.
