Furthermore

The objective of this project is to design a webpage using only CSS without using any additional JavaScript code. This means that all the dynamic and interactive features of the webpage should be created solely using CSS styling and animations. This can be a challenging task, but it allows for a more lightweight and efficient webpage that loads faster and has better performance. It also provides an opportunity to showcase advanced CSS skills and techniques. With careful planning and creativity, it is possible to create a visually appealing and engaging webpage using only CSS.
