Carly Antonetti | Writing Portfolio

Welcome to the repository for Carly Antonetti's personal writing portfolio website. This static website is hosted using GitHub Pages.

Overview

This site serves as a digital home for Carly's stories, essays, and musings. Currently, it acts as an elegant placeholder while the portfolio content is being cultivated.

Design Aesthetic

The design of this website is heavily inspired by vintage illustrations, classic storybook aesthetics, and Art Nouveau. It features:

• A Soft, Warm Palette: Cream backgrounds (#FDFBF7) paired with deep, warm brown text (#3E3129) evoke the feeling of aged paper. Accents include a faded rose, soft dusty blue, and pale gold.
• Classic Typography: Utilizing Google Fonts to achieve a timeless look. Playfair Display provides elegant, storybook-style headings (complete with classic drop caps), while EB Garamond ensures high readability for body text.
• Subtle Textures: A faint, dot-grid background pattern (radial-gradient) gives the page a slightly textured, stationary feel without being overwhelming.

Technologies Used

• HTML5
• CSS3 (Custom CSS variables, flexbox/grid principles where applicable)
• Google Fonts (Playfair Display, EB Garamond)
