A landing page for an environmental organisation using Bootstrap 5.

Enviro - Responsive Bootstrap landing page

This is a solution to an environmental organisation landing page. It's a monthly subscription site where members can plant trees to offset their carbon footprint. In the process of building this single page I managed to gain a greater understanding of Bootstrap's grid system, components, utilities and be able to create websites that can adapt to every device and every screen size.

What I learnt

• I learnt how to build a modern, responsive website using Bootstrap 5.
• How to install Bootstrap via CDN.
• The concept of the grid system and how the content should adjust and change size according to the screen size.
• Learnt how to use components such as buttons, cards and navbar.
• How to work with Bootstrap utilities which include display, spacing, sizing and flex.
• Layout considerations for both desktop and mobile devices.

Here is a code snippet I am proud of:

<!-- Newsletter subscription -->
<div class="col-lg-5 col-md-5 offset-lg-1 offset-md-1 mb-4">
  <form>
    <h5 class="text-white">Subscribe to our newsletter</h5>
    <p class="text-muted">Monthly digest of whats new and exciting from us.</p>
    <div class="d-flex w-100 gap-2">
      <label for="newsletter1" class="visually-hidden">Email address</label>
      <input
        id="newsletter1"
        type="text"
        class="form-control"
        placeholder="Email address"
      />
      <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Subscribe</button>
    </div>
  </form>
</div>

Useful resources

• Bootstrap Docs -This helped me learn about all the different components, content and utilities Bootstrap has in it's collection.
• Bootstrap Icons - Bootstrap now has it's own open source icon library of over 1,500 icons which is very helpful. I found it very easy to install them using a CDN in my website and embed the icons within the HTML of the page.
• SVG styling - This Stack Overflow question helped me to figure out how to change the fill color on my svg social media icons.
