LAMP Project
Modify
the CSS. Start by changing the header, footer, and index php files;
change the layout, add images. Make it do something new. (See http://www.csszengarden.com/ for inspiration)
Change
colors, layout, content. Revamp it for a client: real or imagined. See
fonts.google.com for open source fonts you can use. See csszengarden.com
for layout changes and more. See https://unsplash.com/ for royalty free stock photography.
Add some interesting functionality — see w3schools for ideas with CSS, JS, PHP.
NOTE:
If you try changing something, and refreshing your browser, but nothing
seems to ‘take,’ it could be that your browser is using cached info —
try clearing your cache and refreshing again. Also: in the dev tools
under Network, check Disable Cache.
