Look inside

Help Max, the owner of My Little Cookie Shop, sharpen his competitive edge. He’s hired you to upgrade his store’s website with hovers. Using the provided design file as your guide for what each state should look like, you’ll ensure the user can easily see what’s clickable and provide a smooth transition from one state to another. You can use the provided HTML and base CSS, but you’re welcome to deviate from that if you’d like to get more creative.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
