reflections

• I'm happy with the result! Proud of how it turned out.
• learned about Astro, about differences between browsers (particularly regarding background image in Safari mobile), about forms (and their functionality).
• I spent a lot of time on little details, not sure many folks will notice but I hope the site provides a polished/professional feel.

🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
├── src/
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
└── package.json

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.

🧞 Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

Command	Action

npm run build	Build your production site to ./dist/
