Hey everyone! I'm a 12th grader looking to get into computer science, and I'm hoping to build a project that could showcase my skills. Could anyone suggest a website project I could work on that would look good on my resume? Thanks a lot!

You don’t need a specific website idea right away. You could just practice CSS by making cool stuff—think fun transitions, animations, or something interactive. Focus on what interests you and apply your CSS skills first. Once you’re more comfortable, then you can dive into building a full website!
How about creating something like Google Drive with a NAS (like Synology)? It’s a practical project that could teach you a lot about both web development and storage solutions!
Are you leaning more towards frontend or backend development? This could seriously influence what kind of project you should tackle!
I have a bit of experience in both, but I’m learning backend right now.
Just remember to create something you actually want to use! The key is to keep it simple and avoid overcomplicating it. There will be tons of frameworks and libraries you’ll want to explore as you build, but focus on getting your project up and running first. You've got this!
Definitely keeping that in mind. Thanks a lot!
I suggest starting with a project that resonates with you personally. Identify a problem you face and create a website to solve it. This way, you’ll stay motivated—like how I built a simple site that randomly selects a character for a game, which helped me learn key skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Plus, having a completed project can really enhance your CV or uni application! Once you’ve nailed the basics, you can explore more specific projects, such as one that visually demonstrates pathfinding or sorting algorithms if you want to dive into the CS side of things.
Sounds good, I’ll definitely consider that. Thanks for being so specific!
Really appreciate that advice, thanks!
