Website was designed using bootstrap studio and hosted using Github pages. I chose to use bootstrap studio because it is free with the Github student pack and it's an easy way to quickly build a responsive website without having to write html css and javascript from scratch. And as I make edits to this page to add more features, I get to learn a some html css and javascript as I add custom code
