Why Anime Central?
I wanted to build a website around something I already enjoy: anime. Anime Central is a place for show recommendations, favorite characters, and whatever else I want to add as I get better at web development.
This website is also my CIS 515 course portfolio. I started with HTML, added CSS and Bootstrap, made the site more accessible, and then added JavaScript interactions.
For Module 9, I converted the site into an Express application. The contact form now uses a POST request, Express handles the form fields on the server, and EJS makes a personalized thank-you page.
Front-end
HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and browser JavaScript.
Back-end
Node.js, Express routes, and POST form handling.
Templates
EJS views and reusable navigation and footer partials.
