Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this idea for a “fresh oolong store” – you know, like a super modern, minimalist tea shop. I had this whole vision in my head, and I just had to try and build it out, at least digitally.
I started by just sketching things out on paper. Seriously, old-school pencil and paper. I’m no artist, but I wanted to get a general feel for the layout. I pictured a long, clean counter, lots of natural light, and maybe some cool-looking tea canisters on display. It was all very vague at this point, more of a vibe than a blueprint.
Then, I decided to dive into some basic HTML. I figured, why not try and make a simple webpage for my imaginary store? I started with the basic structure, you know, the <head> and <body> tags. Nothing fancy, just getting the skeleton in place.
I made separate section inside the boy like header, main, footer
<body>
<header></header>
<main></main>
<footer></footer>
</body>
Next, I wanted a simple heading, started adding things inside the header.
<header>
<h2>Fresh Oolong Store</h2>
</header>
I played around with a few different fonts. And then I added the main section with some unordered lists, to show case different type of teas, like this:
<main>
<h2>Our Teas</h2>
<ul>
<li>Classic Oolong</li>
<li>Milk Oolong</li>
<li>Honey Oolong</li>
</ul>
</main>
Then I put a little “About Us” blurb. I just wrote a couple of sentences about how the store is dedicated to, like, “the freshest oolong experience.” Cheesy, I know, but it’s a start! After that, I added another list for store address, timing like that.
Finally, for the <footer>, just put in a copyright with the current year. Super basic.
It’s nowhere near finished, obviously. It’s basically just a text page with a heading and a couple of paragraphs. But it’s a start. I can see the potential, and it’s making me want to learn more about web design and maybe even… I don’t know… actually open a tea shop someday? Who knows!
