Design Process

I am using Figma to design the wireframes and prototypes of the website. This helps in visualizing the layout and user experience before diving into development. => Figma Layout

Development Status

This project is a work in progress.

Merged Changes are automatically deployed via Netlify, making this project a very simple CI/CD approach and to ensure that the work-in-progess application is in a stable and up-to-date state.

Some of the future additions include:

• Building an API: backendproject-birdsofprey
• User accounts and profiles
• Interactive maps for event locations
• Enhanced search and filter options for bird portraits and articles
• Integration with external bird-watching databases and resources
