andrew-lockett.com is a custom website built in HTML using Bootstrap 4 for visual styling. It is hosted with AWS and the domain is managed via Cloudflare.
Why make it custom?
As I began putting together my portfolio of work, I quickly realized that traditional website building tools did not have the customization that I was wanting, and that hosting all of my example files for the projects would be far more complicated than I had intended. At that point, I decided to utilize the skills from my Internet Software Development class at Texas State and build it from scratch. That way I could make the layout, the content, and the flow of the website appear exactly as I wanted.
Implementation
This website is built in HTML with assets and styling pulled from Bootstrap 4. Feel free to open developer tools in your browser and peruse the source code to analyze how it's all built!
Hosting
When it came to hosting my website, I quickly realized that custom HTML websites are difficult to get hosted with basic consumer-level tools. So after some research I decided to do it myself with AWS! Currently, this website is hosted on a t3.micro EC2 instance running Apache2, and its certificate and domain services are handled through Cloudflare's API.
