This section features a different kind of project from the rest of this page—
a quiet collection of web tools I've created through my own learning process.
Designed to be simple and gentle, these tools support everyday use, English study, and TOEIC preparation.
If you're curious, I warmly invite you to take a look.
Summary: In April 2024, I encountered HTML and CSS for the first time, and out of complete uncertainty, I created my very first project: Sunana Restaurant. It holds a special place in my heart as the "first thing I ever shaped."
For a while, I hesitated to publish it due to my lack of experience, but eventually, the desire to leave a record of who I was at that time grew stronger. That feeling gave me the courage to share it with the world.
About a year later, I launched a new project called The Curry, aiming to improve and refine the original code. It was my first attempt at revisiting and enhancing something I had already created. I experimented quite a bit with responsive design, and though it wasn't easy, the process was full of trial and error that led to real growth and confidence.
In The Curry, I implemented multiple features such as multi-page structure, soft image transitions, Flexbox layout, and smartphone responsiveness. Rather than striving for perfection, I7ve found more meaning in continuing, and I now see steady, thoughtful progress as my personal goal.
Finally, I also introduce Kredo, an online school where you can learn web development in English. I hope this very note becomes one of the many spices that enrich my journey.

Summary: Chocoholic-sample is a portfolio piece themed around chocolate.
As a multi-page website, common elements were centrally managed with CSS to boost both efficiency and consistency. While it required tailoring each page to its specific purpose, that challenge became a key learning opportunity.
The project involved a wide range of technologies:
- HTML: semantic tags, forms, accessibility practices
- CSS: Flexbox, Grid layout, animations
- JavaScript: DOM manipulation and event handling
Special attention was paid to responsiveness and visual effects. Reflecting the creator's love for chocolate, even the process of choosing photos was joyful—and the entire coding experience was described as filled with happiness from start to finish.
Toward the end of the article, a personal journey is shared: the initial motivation to study web development stemmed from past experiences with surgery and job instability. These sparked a desire to “gain skills that allow me to earn independently, even after retirement,” which led to the decision to pursue a path as a markup engineer.
It's a story where creation and way of life quietly intertwine.

Summary: Cafe and Coffee-sample is an ambitious, multi-page creation crafted by a beginner with passion and determination. Starting with reference images, the prototype was built in Figma, then translated into code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Features like sliders, tabbed interfaces, and embedded short videos were boldly implemented—resulting in a project that's truly praiseworthy.
Looking back on the development process, there were certainly moments where technical skills and knowledge felt lacking. However, the joy of learning far outweighed those frustrations. That sense of discovery sparked a new motivation: “I want to start working as soon as possible,” and the desire to create the next project grew even stronger.
Toward the end of the article, the creator shares the personal background that led to studying web design—shaped by past life experiences including surgery and employment uncertainty.

Summary: Resume-Indirectly-sample is a portfolio project created to deepen understanding of HTML and CSS. Starting with sample images, the design was prototyped in Figma, then developed into code without incorporating any animations—an intentional choice to keep things clear and focused.
To refresh JavaScript skills, the project also included an attempt at graph rendering, which turned out to be a tough but valuable experience, revealing the complexity of implementation firsthand.
Toward the latter part of the article, a personal introduction unfolds—sharing the creator's background and motivations. Past challenges such as illness and unstable employment inspired a desire to “acquire skills that allow me to work independently after retirement.” That vision led to studying web design and gradually discovering the joy of coding with HTML and CSS. It eventually sparked a firm decision to pursue a career as a markup engineer.
Each step of learning and effort is reflected with intention—so that what's on screen genuinely represents what's behind it.
Skills: only responsive because I need to deepen my understanding of html and css
Summary: At a point where I was starting to feel more comfortable with HTML structure, I took on a new portfolio project called Sweets sample. This time, my goal was to create a dynamic user experience—so I explored interactive features like “screen transitions triggered by button clicks” and “slideshow displays for images.”
Although some parts of the implementation still take time, the process felt like an enjoyable challenge that clearly reflected my growth.
The article introduces the project and also includes a gentle walkthrough on how to display it via GitHub Pages. In the latter half, I reflect on the turning points in my life that led me to pursue web design. Past experiences with illness and job instability motivated me to seek skills that would allow me to work independently—even after retirement.

Summary: Like the previous creations, Flowerhop-sample is a portfolio project built primarily with HTML and CSS—this time completed without adding visual motion or animation. As I grew more familiar with HTML structure and media queries, I rediscovered the simple joy of seeing a webpage take shape through my own code.
In addition to introducing the work, the article includes a guide for checking the display via GitHub Pages, as well as a personal background story. Past experiences with illness and employment instability led to a resolution: “I want to gain the skills to earn independently, even after retirement.” That motivation sparked my journey into web design in 2024, and eventually, I found joy in coding with HTML and CSS—leading me to pursue a path as a markup engineer.
