CodeHS Web Design Insider: Emojis in HTML, Website Mode Project & More!

😍 Emojis in HTML

💡 Website Light/Dark Modes

Giving website visitors a choice for viewing and interacting with your site is an important design aspect that improves the user experience.

In this project, students build a web page that lets users choose between two different themes - a light and dark theme - or choose to apply their system theme preference. JavaScript code has been provided, and students use HTML and CSS to create their custom light/dark mode color palettes and styles.
