Missing UI Styling On Games, Static Websites, And ML Projects Pages

Hey guys! Ever stumbled upon a website where the homepage looks slick, but the inner pages feel like they're from a different era? That's the situation we've got with our Games, Static Websites, and ML Projects pages. They're missing the UI styling that makes our homepage pop, and we need to fix it! Let’s dive in and figure out how we can bring these pages up to par.

The Problem: A Mismatch in Design

The core issue is simple: our Games, Static Websites, and ML Projects pages are rocking a plain HTML look. Unlike the homepage and about pages, which have a consistent design and CSS, these sections are barebones. It’s like stepping from a modern art gallery into a 90s Geocities site – a jarring experience for any user.

What’s Missing?

Let’s break down exactly what’s missing. These pages are devoid of crucial UI elements that make a website user-friendly and visually appealing:

• The Common Navigation Bar: The navbar is the backbone of site navigation. Without it, users can feel lost and struggle to move between sections. It’s like removing the street signs in a city – confusing, right?
• Footer Section: The footer usually contains important links, contact information, and copyright details. It’s the polite way of saying, “Hey, we’re a real website, and here’s how to reach us!”
• Background Styling or Theme Colors: Imagine a room with white walls and no decorations. That’s what these pages feel like. Theme colors and background styling add personality and brand consistency.
• Consistent Fonts and Padding: Typography and spacing are crucial for readability. Inconsistent fonts and padding make a page look cluttered and unprofessional.
• Responsive Layout and Improved Visuals (like cards/icons): In today’s mobile-first world, a responsive layout is non-negotiable. Plus, visuals like cards and icons can significantly improve the user experience by making content more engaging and digestible. Think of it as turning a wall of text into an inviting magazine spread.

This lack of styling creates a poor user experience and a significant mismatch between the homepage and the inner pages. It’s like inviting someone to a fancy party and then seating them at the kids' table.

Affected Files: The Usual Suspects

To get our hands dirty, we need to know which files are causing the trouble. Here are the culprits:

• games.html
• websites.html (or whatever your static websites page file is named)
• ml.html (or the file for your ML projects page)

These files are the prime suspects in our case of the missing UI. We’ll need to roll up our sleeves and get these pages styled up!

The Goal: Expected Behavior

So, what are we aiming for? We want these pages to feel like they belong to the same family as the homepage. Here’s the expected behavior we’re shooting for:

• Include Navbar and Footer: This is the bare minimum. We need to ensure users can navigate the site and find essential information.
• Use Consistent Fonts, Colors, and Paddings: A unified visual theme ties the whole site together. It’s like ensuring all the rooms in a house have the same flooring and paint colors.
• Show Content in Well-Designed Cards or Grid Layout: Cards and grids make content easier to scan and digest. Think of it as organizing your closet – everything is easier to find when it’s neatly arranged.
• Add Hover Effects and Icons for Better UX: These little touches can make a big difference. Hover effects and icons add interactivity and visual cues that enhance the user experience.

In short, we want these pages to look polished, professional, and user-friendly.
