What I learned

For this exercise, i learned how to handle image changes for different devices! Thought i faced quite a lot of difficulties with the navigation, both mobile and desktop

As you see below, at the header section of my website i have some classes that control the display of images depending on the user screen size

  <div class="header_image">
            <img class="d-sm-none d-block mobile" src="./assets/images/image-hero-mobile.png">
            <img class="d-none d-sm-block desktop" src="./assets/images/image-hero-desktop.png">
  </div>

Useful resources

• W3schools how to section - I used the how to section to get ideas on how to arrange my navigation menu both on mobile and desktop

• Bootstrap icons - I made use of the bootstrap icons for some icons, mainly the chevron in the mobile and desktop navigations

• Animate css - I used animate css to setup the simple slide animation on clicking the mobile menu
