Static Website Development

The project name “coming-soon” strongly suggests a static website used to inform visitors that a product or service is under development. This would likely involve HTML, CSS, and possibly JavaScript for basic interactions.

Goals

Understand how to create a simple, informative website with minimal interactivity using front-end technologies.

Content Management

While the project name suggests simplicity, it’s possible that the website requires managing different content, like text, images, or even dynamic elements.

Goals

Explore various content management approaches, including simple file-based systems, basic CMS integration, or even dynamic content generation using server-side languages.

Hosting and Deployment

Any website needs to be deployed somewhere. Understanding deployment methods is crucial.

Goals

Learn about different hosting options (e.g., static site hosting, serverless platforms, web servers), deployment processes (e.g., manual uploads, continuous integration), and potential infrastructure configurations.

Accessibility and Responsiveness

A “coming-soon” page should be accessible to users with disabilities and adapt to various screen sizes.

Goals

Gain knowledge about accessibility guidelines (WCAG), responsive design principles, and techniques for creating accessible and responsive websites.

Analytics and Tracking

Monitoring website traffic and user interaction is helpful even for a “coming-soon” page. This can offer valuable insights into visitor interest and engagement.

Goals

Learn about different analytics tools and tracking mechanisms (e.g., Google Analytics, custom event tracking), how to set them up, and how to interpret the collected data.

Testing and Debugging

Ensuring the website functions correctly and is free of errors is essential.

Goals

Learn basic testing strategies (e.g., manual testing, automated testing with tools like Cypress or Jest), debugging techniques (e.g., browser developer tools, console logs), and how to implement them effectively.

CI/CD

While a simple “coming-soon” page might not require complex CI/CD pipelines, understanding these concepts is valuable for future projects.

Goals

Learn about continuous integration and continuous delivery principles, how to automate builds, tests, and deployments using tools like GitLab CI/CD or Jenkins.

Security

Even a static website requires basic security measures to protect against potential threats.

Goals

Understand common web security vulnerabilities (e.g., XSS, SQL injection), how to mitigate them (e.g., input validation, sanitization), and how to implement basic security practices (e.g., HTTPS, secure password management).
