> I'm also posting this here because I assume many of your are professional web developers. I'm a learning hobbyist and wondering if there are any issues with the way I built the website.

I ran Lighthouse over the site. Excellent scores!

The one improvement I would suggest is to increase the contrast between your text and background. Currently the text is a little hard to read.

Have great fun coding!

Thanks! I wasn't aware of tools like Lighthouse, will have a look into how it rates things.

Will also take a critical look at contrast again, thought it would be sufficient, and it quickly gets overwhelming in this layout.
