Developing websites for the last three years using JavaScript and Python from 2020. Working for Siddaco.com, part-time, as an outlet manager for Waiterplus. Managing static files, content and server files. Studied with Udemy and Codenation. Worked with independent projects and in teams.
There are many more ways to have been more efficient in making this website. One of them being a responsive layout and commonly used markup and styling library such as Bootstrap. Using Javascript I would have been able to use React with Redux to manage components and efficiently use data throughout the website without having to repeat components. Also adding typescript to the frontend would make managing the website easier and free from bugs. I could have used javascript headless cms, Django, or the MERN stack to manage data dynamically. These make managing a website by assigning components to team members very easily. So the drawbacks of HTML and CSS is that they provide a static solution which you is very manual, time costly, code can become messy and not efficient at all with managing data on their own.
Is to plan the website using the software development lifecycle approach. After this create wireframes based on the target audience in terms of their use on the website. Design this on photoshop or better yet, use sketch which can make it easier to visualise the website. Make a base for the website and allocate components if there is a team. Learn about other technologies or approaches which can help. Use frameworks and create your own library of code which you can use again. Use Trello to organize your time and tasks. Finally, look into automation for the boring stuff.
I would work in a team that gives the ability to bring different ideas and manage workload. Use something like sketch to create mockups which also has ability to provide you with code as well. Design the whole look of a website on Photoshop. Use something like Contentful to make my backend for dynamic content. Use React to get more control over components and manage data. Use Bootstrap for layout and composition of elements. Use slack with Github to share code if working on a team.
Manual testing would include, using Google's developer tools, playing with the browser size to check how responsive the layout is, check if everything is displayed the same for every user, send messages using the form and keep testing by clicking into all links. Using software like Jira or Test Cafe for a more dynamic testing.
