As a professional game developer, I spend most of my time creating engaging and interactive experiences for players. However, recently, I took on a different kind of project—developing a single-page website for a client. While web development is not my primary focus, this project was an exciting challenge that allowed me to expand my skills beyond game development.

Understanding the Client’s Needs

The client wanted a sleek, responsive, and visually appealing single-page website that effectively showcased their brand. The key requirements included:

  • A modern and minimalist design
  • Fast loading speed
  • Mobile responsiveness
  • Easy navigation
  • Contact and call-to-action sections

Choosing the Right Tech Stack

Since the website needed to be lightweight and fast, I opted for a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with a touch of animation to make it visually engaging. I used:

  • HTML5 for structuring content
  • CSS3 (including Flexbox and Grid) for styling and layout
  • JavaScript for interactivity and smooth scrolling effects

The Development Process

I approached the project with a structured workflow:

  1. Planning & Wireframing – I created a rough sketch of the layout and content sections.
  2. Designing the UI – Ensuring a visually appealing color scheme and typography.
  3. Coding the Structure – Developing the core framework using HTML and CSS.
  4. Adding Interactivity – Implementing animations, buttons, and smooth scrolling with JavaScript.
  5. Optimization – Compressing images and minifying CSS/JS to enhance loading speed.
  6. Testing & Deployment – Checking responsiveness across devices before deploying the site.

Lessons Learned

Although my expertise lies in game development, this project helped me realize how much overlap there is between game and web development. Here are a few takeaways from the experience:

  • UI/UX principles matter in both games and websites.
  • Performance optimization is crucial for a smooth user experience.
  • Client communication is key to delivering exactly what’s needed.

Final Thoughts

Developing a single-page website was a rewarding experience. It reinforced my problem-solving skills and expanded my technical expertise. While I remain dedicated to game development, I am always open to exploring new challenges in software and web development.
