The website provides some extra useful resources on learning techniques and hacks:
The technologies that have been used are:
- HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

The main concepts that have been emphasized are:

The website is using BEM — Block Element Modifier methodology to create reusable and understandable components in CSS. The idea behind it is to divide the user interface into independent blocks. This makes interface development easy and fast and it allows reuse of existing code without copying and pasting. We are also using Nested BEM File structure organization for CSS.
There are few improvements that I am looking to work upon:
- Including a form in the webpage that allows users to submit a comment.
- Making the website responsive.
- Implementing a navigation to access the different sections of the webpage.
