Overview

The Olive Tree theme was developed as a personal side project to experiment with front-end design and interactivity. The goal was to create a visually calming and organic website theme that emphasizes simplicity and natural design, while still showcasing smooth functionality.

My Role

I designed and built the entire theme from scratch using HTML, CSS, and jQuery. My focus was on crafting a clean, responsive layout with subtle animations and intuitive navigation. Since this was a solo project, I was responsible for every aspect — from the overall concept to the technical implementation.

Process

I started by outlining the page structure with semantic HTML to provide a solid framework. CSS was used to develop the theme’s natural aesthetic, incorporating earthy tones and typography choices that aligned with the “olive tree” concept. jQuery powered interactive features such as smooth scrolling and dynamic content effects, giving the site an engaging, modern feel. Along the way, I tested responsiveness to ensure the design adapted seamlessly across devices.

Results

The finished Olive Tree theme demonstrates a balance between minimalist design and functional interactivity. The project was an opportunity to push my creativity while honing front-end skills, resulting in a smooth, responsive theme with a distinct natural aesthetic.
