Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel. This is day four of my 100 days HTML, CSS and JavaScript projects challenge. In this series I'm building 100 web development projects to improve my front end development skills and share my learning journey. If you are a beginner learning web development, this series will help you practice real projects using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. In today's video we are going to create a border animation. Button using only HTML and CSS, this button has a very cool hover animation where animated borders move around the button from all four sides you can use this kind of animated button in landing pages, portfolio websites or modern UI designs so without wasting time let's start coding before we start writing the code let me show you the final result of this project Here we have a simple button placed in the center of the screen at first it looks like a normal button but. When I move the mouse over it, you can see a beautiful animated border effect that moves around the button. The animation starts from the top border, then continues to the right side, then the bottom, and finally the left side. This creates a smooth and modern animation effect. And the best part is that we can build this using only HTML and CSS without JavaScript. Now let's build it step by step. First we start by creating the HTML structure for this project we begin. With the standard HTML document structure at the top, we define the doctype declaration which tells the browser that we are using HTML5. Next we open the HTML tag and inside it we create the head section. Inside the head section we add the meta charset tag to ensure proper character encoding. Then we add the viewport meta tag which helps our page display correctly on mobile devices. After that we create a title for the page which in this case is border animation. Now we link our external CSS file using the link tag. This is where all the styling will be written. Next we move to the body section. Inside the body we create an anchor element which will act as our button. We give this anchor tag a class called BTM. Inside the button, we write the text border button. Now to create the animated borders, we add 4 span elements inside the button. Each span element will represent one side of the border. So the first span will be the top order, the second will be the right border, the third will be the bottom border and the fourth will be the left border. This structure allows us to control each side of the border individually using CSS. Now our HTML structure is complete. Now let's move to the CSS file and start styling our project. First, we apply a CSS reset. We remove the default margin and padding from all elements using the universal selector. We also set box sizing. The border box which makes width and height calculations more predictable. Next we set the font family for the page and this project we use a monospace font to give it a coding style look. Now we style the body section. We set the height of the body to 100 viewport height, which means it will take the full height of the screen. Then we use flexbox to center the button horizontally and vertically. We do this using display, flex, justify, content, center and align. Items center. Next, we apply a dark background color to the body. This dark background helps the animated border glow effect stand out more clearly. Next, we style the button itself. We select the class BTN. First, we set its position to relative. This is important because the animated borders will be positioned absolutely inside the button. Then we add padding to make the button larger. We also removed the default text decoration and set the text color to white. Next, we increase the font size and add some letter spacing to make the button text look modern. Finally, we set overflow hidden which ensures that the animated borderlines stay inside the button. Now comes the most interesting part of this project, creating the animated borders. We start by styling the span elements inside the button. Each span will act as one side of the border. We set their position to absolute and display them as block elements. Now we target the first span which represents the top border. We position it at the top of the button and give it a height of two pixels and a width of 100%. Then we apply a linear gradient background so that the border appears to glow. Next we create a hover animation. When the button is hovered, the top order moves from the left side to the right side. Now we style the second span which represents the right border. This border is vertical, so we set its width to two pixels and height to 100%. We position it on the right side of the button. When the button is hovered, this border moves from top to bottom. Next, we style the third span, which represents the bottom border. This border moves from right to left. Finally, the 4th span represents the left border which moves from bottom to top. To make the animation look smoother, we add transition delays to each span. This creates a sequence where the borders animate one after another. And that's it. Now when we hover over the button, the border animation smoothly moves around the entire button, creating a modern UI effect. This is a great example of how powerful CSS animations. And transitions can be. This was day four of my 100 Web Development Projects challenge.

Building a Professional Web Presence: My Latest Project 🚀 I’m excited to finally share a project I’ve been working on—a professional website built for a local school. As a student, I really wanted to move beyond basic practice sites and build something that could actually be used in the real world. My goal was to create a "digital front door" for the school that looks great but more importantly makes things easier for parents and students. What I focused on: Responsive Design: I used Bootstrap 5 to ensure the site is fully mobile-friendly and looks clean on any screen size. Smart Logic: I built a multi-step admission portal using JavaScript. This helps guide users through the inquiry process with real-time validation, making it much more interactive. Professional Workflow: This was a great chance to practice my Git and GitHub skills. Keeping the code organized and managing versions was a huge part of the learning process for me. Building this was a big step in sharpening my frontend skills and understanding how to write clean, maintainable code. It’s a great feeling to see the final result live! 💻 I’d love to hear any feedback or thoughts from the community.

💡 Bootstrap Didn’t Make Developers Lazy — It Made Them Faster There’s a common myth in web development: Using Bootstrap means you’re not a real frontend developer. But here’s the truth 👇 Bootstrap doesn’t replace skills — it amplifies productivity. Instead of spending hours: ❌ Writing repetitive CSS ❌ Fixing responsiveness issues ❌ Aligning layouts pixel by pixel You can: ✅ Build clean, responsive UIs in minutes ✅ Focus on functionality and user experience ✅ Deliver projects faster Real development isn’t about writing more code — it’s about solving problems efficiently. And Bootstrap helps you do exactly that 🚀 💭 Smart developers don’t avoid tools. They use them wisely. #Bootstrap #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #Productivity #FullStack #CodingLife

When I started learning web development, I discovered that every website is built using three core technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Each one has a different role in building a website. 🧱 HTML (HyperText Markup Language) Creates the structure of a web page — headings, paragraphs, images, buttons. 🎨 CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) Styles the page — colors, layouts, fonts, spacing. ⚡ JavaScript Adds interactivity — form validation, animations, dynamic content. A simple way to understand it: 🏠 HTML = Structure of the house 🎨 CSS = Design and decoration ⚡ JavaScript = Functionality (lights, doors, automation) Together, these three technologies bring websites to life. Mastering these fundamentals is the first step toward becoming a strong Front-End Developer. — Priyanka C Front-End Developer in Progress 🚀 #WebDevelopment #FrontendDeveloper #HTML #CSS #JavaScript #ReactJS #SoftwareEngineering #TechLearning #LearningInPublic #DeveloperJourney
