My first, albeit not the best ever, landing page
Hi All!
Let me start off by saying front-end web development is not my favorite, I do not have "the eye" for it and I am grateful Bootstrap makes it so easy to throw things together that look somewhat decent. It probably took me a ridiculous 20+ hours over the last few weeks to throw the front end together where the backend flask part took 2ish hours from start to finish. That said, I was not going to let perfect be the enemy of good.
Here is how I put this together:
- Purchased domain from Amazon Route 53
- Pointed the domain to a free-tier Amazon EC2 instance
- I found out security groups are insanely important to set up to get things going, ports 443, 22, and 80 are used
- Built the application using Flask, obviously :P
- Plugged my application into a Docker container that makes handles setting up and renewing SSL certificates a breeze
- Now I can easily set this up for any new project and plugging PHPMyAdmin in should be a breeze for more complicated projects which I really want to dive into
- Used Bootstrap
My question for you all is as follows: what do you think of the landing page or the website as a whole? What can I improve to make it easier to look at and draw a potential customer's eye?
Or please let me know of any questions, comments, or concerns!
