Hey everyone! I'm super excited to share a small but satisfying project I completed today: a Google homepage clone built using only HTML and CSS. ๐
๐ Why I Did This
As someone who's on a journey to become a better front-end developer, I thought recreating iconic websites would be a great way to practice. And what better place to start than with one of the cleanest and most minimalist designs on the internetโGoogleโs homepage! ๐โจ
๐ ๏ธ What I Used
HTML for the structure ๐งฑ
CSS for styling and layout ๐จ
No JavaScript this time (keeping it simple!) โ๏ธ
๐ฏ Key Features
Centered Google logo ๐ผ๏ธ
Search input box with shadow ๐ณ
Two classic buttons: "Google Search" and "I'm Feeling Lucky" ๐ฒ
Responsive design for smaller screens ๐ฑ
Clean and minimal layout, just like the real deal โ
๐ What I Learned
How to use Flexbox to center elements perfectly
Creating a minimalistic UI with clean CSS
The power of spacing and alignment in good design
Small touches like hover effects and shadows really enhance the UI โจ
๐ Whatโs Next?
I plan to continue this mini-series by cloning other popular websites to sharpen my front-end skills. Maybe next up: Netflix or Instagram Login Page? Stay tuned! ๐บ๐ธ
Thanks for reading! Let me know your thoughts or if you've tried something like this. Would love to connect and grow with the dev community. ๐ฌโค๏ธ
