Starting a web project from scratch

In this post, I want to go over starting a web project from scratch. When prototyping, you are given the task to create something out of nothing in a short amount of time sometimes with any real data on how to move forward. The last thing you want to use your brainpower on is deciding on what framework to use.

Here I detail my process and essential libraries to get started.

• Create React App - a boilerplate for simple react apps

• Bootstrap - for a standard grid framework

• fontawesome - For integrating icons into your application

Design Elements

• Google Fonts - https://fonts.google.com/

• Adobe Fonts - https://fonts.adobe.com/

Image placeholders on deck:

• Lorem Picsum (https://picsum.photos/)

• Placehold It (Here’s a quick write up on how to use)
