Overview
Unitor was a solo project where I designed and developed a bilingual website based on a visual concept provided by a designer. This undertaking presented several challenges, as it was my first experience creating a website that supported two languages. Additionally, the site required a substantial amount of content to be ported and organized, further testing my ability to manage complex workflows. Despite some imperfections in the execution, this project was a significant learning experience that deepened my understanding of web development principles, design implementation, and content management.
Solution
To bring the designer's vision to life, I utilized SCSS, HTML, and **JavaScript **to build the website and ensure a seamless user experience. SCSS was employed for efficient and organized styling, enabling a consistent visual aesthetic across the site. HTML formed the backbone of the site's structure, while JavaScript was used to create interactive elements, enhancing usability and engagement.
The design provided in **Figma **served as the foundation for the project's visual direction. I meticulously translated the static mockups into a functional and responsive website, ensuring the design's integrity was preserved. The bilingual functionality required careful planning and implementation, with dynamic content loading and consistent styling across both language versions. By integrating these technologies effectively, I was able to create a visually appealing and interactive website while overcoming the challenges of multilingual development and large-scale content migration.
Results
The Unitor website successfully launched as a functional, visually cohesive platform that met the designer's vision. Although some aspects of the implementation fell short of perfection due to my learning curve, the project significantly advanced my skills in handling multilingual websites, complex content migration, and adhering to a professional design framework.
This experience also taught me valuable lessons in project management, including planning for scalability and managing unexpected challenges. Despite its hurdles, the project highlighted my ability to adapt, grow, and deliver a functional product while refining my skills as a developer. The lessons learned from Unitor have shaped my approach to web development, preparing me for more complex projects in the future.
