Harpoon Jobs
- 2020
Harpoon Jobs - Stay Home and Stay Ahead is a static landing page created for Harpoon Jobs, a recruitment company. It was a specific campaign launched during the COVID-19 pandemic focusing on a "Stay Home and Stay Ahead" program whose revenue reverted to the Portuguese Red Cross.
I was responsible for the development but not the implementation, meaning I developed the HTML and CSS and delivered the bundled code to the client. The design was taken care of by Aguarela Digital.Since it was a simple landing page, with no JavaScript involved, the process was pretty straightforward and all I had to make sure was that it was responsive (a must nowadays) and cross-browser compatible.
Lighthouse is an open-source, automated tool created by Google for improving the quality of web pages. It runs a series of audits that generate a report indicating where and how to improve your page/website. It audits Performance (page speed), Accessibility (for invisuals using screen readers for example), Best Practices (general development practices) and SEO (search engine optimization)
This is a static landing page with no JavaScript so it was not hard to get good scores. Clean HTML and CSS would do (and did) the trick and the performance score could be much higher had the images been properly sized and optimized. The accessibility and SEO scores were actually hampered only because of a missing "alt" attribute on the logo image.
