10:00 Web Design Trends 2021 – Dark Mode

Yesterday we read a short article on web trends for 2021. The light / dark mode is definitely one of those features I have seen around for awhile. Google even went to dark mode this past year.

Let’s tackle a pretty easy interaction with JavaScript and change a web page Dark Mode with a simple button.

10:45 Pure CSS Lightbox Build

Lightbox Definition: a lightbox popup is a window overlay that appears on top of a webpage, blocking some of the content on the page. When a popup appears, the background is often dimmed and disabled, meaning that site visitors cannot interact with other content on the website.

Let’s work together and code a custom lightbox. I built an example yesterday afternoon for your reference. To begin, I’d like you to select three of your favorite photos from fall foliage.

If there is time, we’ll tackle another project which will be building an image gallery with a hover effect. An image gallery is a great way for you to display your work. The one we will do together today will be done with only HTML and CSS.

We’ll do additional galleries next week and incorporate some interactivity with JavaScript.

11:45 – 12:15pm Purinton Tree Farm Showcase

12:45 Skinny Lesson

Adding vertical and horizontal lines to your web projects are a good way to organize content and direct attention to certain areas of your page. I use <hr> tags to divide up content in a section. Let’s open CodePen and do a little quick exploration.
