Day-2 I Built a Google Homepage Clone Using Just HTML and CSS!

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. ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿš€ 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 internetโ€”Googleโ€™s homepage! ๐Ÿ”โœจ

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What I Used

HTML for the structure ๐Ÿงฑ

CSS for styling and layout ๐ŸŽจ

No JavaScript this time (keeping it simple!) โš™๏ธ

๐ŸŽฏ Key Features

Centered Google logo ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

Search input box with shadow ๐Ÿ”ณ

Two classic buttons: "Google Search" and "I'm Feeling Lucky" ๐ŸŽฒ

Responsive design for smaller screens ๐Ÿ“ฑ

Clean and minimal layout, just like the real deal โœ…
๐Ÿ“˜ 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 โœจ

๐Ÿ“Œ Whatโ€™s 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! ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ“ธ

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. ๐Ÿ’ฌโค๏ธ
