During my time as a front-end developer at MadePeople, I had the opportunity to contribute to the development of Astrid Lindgren's official website. This involved creating an engaging and user-friendly interface that reflects the charm and creativity of Lindgren's stories. The website not only showcases her literary achievements but also serves as a platform for ongoing projects and initiatives aimed at preserving and promoting her work for future generations.

In addition to the website's features, it includes sections for shopping, FAQs, and guides to places associated with Lindgren's life and stories. The site also promotes various events and exhibitions, such as the upcoming Ilon Wikland exhibition at Göteborgs konstmuseum and the new Pippi Långstrump mobile game. Overall, the website is a vibrant tribute to Astrid Lindgren's enduring impact on children's literature and culture.
