Overview

This project is a front-end mockup of an IMDb-like interface—designed in CodePen—with placeholder data to visualize layout, navigation, and user interface components. It’s intended as a design prototype, not a fully functional app.

Features

• Responsive layout optimized for desktop and mobile.
• Sample navigation menu (e.g., search bar, movie categories).
• Movie cards displaying poster, title, release year.
• Static detail view layout with sample plot, cast, and ratings.
• Favorites/watchlist UI mock (non-functional in this version).

Technologies Used

• HTML5 – Structure of the UI elements.
• CSS3 – Styling, layout, and responsiveness.
• JavaScript – For basic interactivity (hover effects, tab switches).
• CodePen – Live design and prototyping environment.

Prerequisites

• Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.).
• Internet connection to access CodePen.

Installation & Usage

Since this is a static design:

1. Visit the CodePen link above.
2. Interact with the layout: test responsiveness, hover effects, and design flow.
3. To modify:
   • Click “Edit on CodePen” to fork the pen and customize HTML, CSS, or JS.
   • Save or share your version directly from CodePen.

How It Was Built

• Design-first approach: Focused on user interface visuals before adding functionality.
• Structural layout: Organized using semantic HTML, with layout managed via Flexbox or CSS Grid.
• Responsive design: Media queries ensure layout adapts to different screen sizes.
• Static placeholders: Used dummy images and text; no real API integration yet.

Future Enhancements

• Integrate real data using APIs like OMDb or TMDB.
• Add search functionality and dynamic movie details.
• Implement favorites or watchlist with localStorage.
• Enhance accessibility and add transitions/animations.
• Convert prototype into a full React/Vue application later on.

Credits

• Inspired by IMDb’s sleek UI design.
• Built with CodePen’s live editor for rapid prototyping.
• Thanks to front-end design communities for layout and best practices.
