&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Challenge: Figma startup landing page darkmode
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Improve your front-end coding skills by building real projects &lt;br&gt;
I couldn't post the full design in Dev. due to size limit&lt;br&gt;
You can Preview the design &lt;a href="https://www.figma.com/file/tOgQVsBPqI2BvnNHluHnYO/Figma-startup-landing-page-dark-Community?node-id=0%3A3517"&gt;Preview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Brief
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So this Week's Challenge is to build out this landing page and get it looking as close to the design as possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This project will test your layout skills. If you're starting to get confident with Flexbox or Grid, this will provide a nice challenge!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can use any tools you like to help you complete the challenge. So if you've got something you'd like to practice, feel free to give it a Go&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Getting Started
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All the files are included in my &lt;a href="https://github.com/kelvinconrad/Figma-landing-page-darkmode"&gt;Github repo&lt;/a&gt; so the where all the Assets are ie: Images, Figma design file&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;a href="https://github.com/kelvinconrad/Figma-landing-page-darkmode"&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt; and clone the repo which contain all the starter files that you'll need to complete the challenge.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Clone the repo &lt;code&gt;git clone https://github.com/kelvinconrad/Figma-landing-page-darkmode.git&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start the project&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To host your Project you can use any services which are free eg: &lt;a href="https://pages.github.com/"&gt;Githubpages&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://vercel.com/"&gt;Zeit&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href="https://www.netlify.com/"&gt;Netlify&lt;/a&gt;. Personally i use Netlify.
If you don't have any idea on how to use any of this please comment and i will create a post on how to host in vercel, Github pages &amp;amp; vercel&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After finishing your project you can share it dev.to community by using the &lt;a href="https://dev.to/t/frontendchallenge"&gt;#frontendchallenge&lt;/a&gt; hashtag&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Ideas to test yourself
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not a must but if you can try it will be good for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Write your styles using a pre-processor, such as Sass, Less, or Stylus&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Train your eye for detail by getting your solution as close to the design as you can&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use a JavaScript framework/library to practice templating and/or building using components&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Try estimating the time it will take for you to build the project. Then see if the time taken matches up to your estimate.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you guys think this is a good idea please let me know so that I can keep posting new design and challenge every Saturday&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://forem.com/kelvinconrad/week-1-frontend-challenge-3jdl</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently, some of my friends approached me inquiring for a recommendation on a way to start as a front-end developer. With dynamic technologies and frameworks, it will be quite tough and overwhelming beginning within the field of front-end development. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So I decided to start a front-end challenge&lt;/strong&gt;, so Every week I will be providing a design and all the Assets needed.&lt;br&gt;
So Feel free to Participate and improve your frontend Skills&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preview site :&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://vpn-landing-page.netlify.app/"&gt;Vpn Landing Page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Challenge : SmartVpn Landing Page
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;i couldn't post full design in Dev.to due to size limit&lt;br&gt;
You can Preview the design &lt;a href="https://www.figma.com/file/Pxiku3dcGuyBmUcSovrqu9/Vpn-Landing-Page?node-id=0%3A1"&gt;Preview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F12cdbb9v6c8c6prw3tfa.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F12cdbb9v6c8c6prw3tfa.jpg" alt="Alt Text" width="800" height="800"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
