1️⃣ Project Description
One of my most impactful projects for the Wild Rescues website was improving user engagement through multimedia and interactive JavaScript features.
Originally, the website contained static content and basic layout structure. My task was to enhance the site by adding:
Embedded video content
Interactive FAQ functionality
Improved layout styling
Responsive media elements
The goal was to make the website more engaging, informative, and user-friendly while maintaining accessibility and responsiveness across devices.
By adding multimedia and jQuery interactivity, I transformed the website from a simple informational page into a more dynamic digital experience.

DOM manipulation

Hover button effects
Responsive media scaling
✅ JavaScript Function Example
function toggleMenu() { var nav = document.getElementById("nav-links"); nav.classList.toggle("show");}✅ jQuery Document Ready Example
$(document).ready(function() { $("#questions p").click(function() { $("#answer h2").slideToggle(); });});This allowed users to click a question and dynamically reveal the answer, improving usability and reducing clutter.
✅ Multimedia Enhancement Example
<video controls poster="images/baby-hawk.jpg"> <source src="media/wildrescues.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>The video was styled to be responsive across devices using CSS to ensure it scales properly on mobile, tablet, and desktop screens.
