What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I'm happy that I learned how to use bootstrap for form validation as well as using toasts while doing this project. It will be a beneficial reference for future contact form designs where I can try implementing it with React.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

One of the challenges in this project was the form validation invalid feedback which was a text that appears in red when the input isn't what the form expects. I managed to overcome it by reading the Bootstrap's documentation on their form validation feature

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I had a little issue where I couldn't place the form in the center of the page because whenever I do so and open up the web console or change the window's width/height, some of the form would be cut off. In the end, I settled with giving it a top & bottom margin to give it some space around the edges.

    Hi! To address your issue with centering the form, here's what you need.

    body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    height: 100%;
}

    Without this, your body was only as tall as the form, but with this, it now fills the entire browser. Then, you'd just use flex to center it vertically and horizontally, like so:

    body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}

    I would personally recommend putting the display properties in a separate div that encompasses your app (basically adding a div between <body> and your first element as the app's container, setting its height and width to 100%, and including the display properties above there instead of in the css for the body), but yeah. Doing that fixes it!
