I am a digital marketer, not a professional developer or game developer. Most of my career has been focused on SEO, growth marketing, paid acquisition, content, and digital strategy. When I started building GamesMom, however, I found myself learning much more about web development than I expected.
GamesMom is a collection of free educational games and learning activities for kids that run directly in the browser. The site includes math games, word games, typing games, memory games, puzzle games, classroom games, quizzes, and other interactive activities. The idea was simple: make games that children can open and play without downloading an application or creating an account.
I initially assumed that building browser games would require a dedicated game engine or a large JavaScript framework. After experimenting with different approaches, I found that many of the games I wanted to create could be built with ordinary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
That was probably the most useful lesson I learned from the project. You don't always need a complicated technology stack to create an interactive web experience.
