Website

The website pastelinspire.com was a front-end programming project I set myself over the Summer of 2020. I already had some preexisting knowledge of Python, but that was the extent of my programming language skills, as I set myself the task of self-learning HTML and CSS. I initally worked from a template called GreatSEO, cutting and adding components as I saw fit.

By the end of this project, I had completely moved my old Wordpress.com website to GitHub Pages hosting, with a brand new design and even a new blog article class I built from scratch on CSS.


"I approached Jenny in June 2020 alongside my business partner with a brief to put together an 8-page brochure to send out to new clients. This was a vital and strategically important commercial piece of work for us and Jenny led the way with faultless expertise, creativity and professionalism, whilst keeping the vision intact. We had numerous Zoom calls and no detail or change was too small. It is clear that she loves her work and this really shone through to the final product, which we are delighted with. In short, Jenny is a joy to work with, excellent value and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a young, bright and talented designer to realise their business concepts and ideas."
