👨‍💻 Tech stack

Here's a brief high-level overview of the tech stack the 007Secure uses:

  • This project uses CSS, HTML, and JS and is deployed on the github-pages environment
  • The base of the site uses a Pen created on CodePen.io. Original URL: https://codepen.io/naemazam/pen/rNrqeZB
  • The name 007Secure refers to how the website theme resembles that of being a spy, like James Bond. Everyone's security is important and it is our mission to teach as many people as we can
