Final Project Challenge Preview [Modify and improve it by also adding new features]
Introduction
We are thrilled to bring forth a new challenge for you - the construction of a responsive event website, which can either be built entirely from scratch or by improving upon our existing project. This website will detail a fictitious web development event, showcasing an array of event details such as the description, location, date, time, speaker bios, and an activity schedule. Additionally, the site will boast a gallery that displays images from past events and includes links to hypothetical social media platforms.
The aim of this project is two-fold. Firstly, it's designed to strengthen your HTML and CSS skills and secondly, to test your proficiency in implementing a responsive design. We expect the website to operate smoothly across all devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
There are two ways to complete this challenge:
1. Starting from scratch: Use your creativity and skills to build an entirely new website.
2. Modification and improvement: If you prefer, you can use our existing final project as a base and make it better. Enhance its features, improve its design, or add new elements to it.
1. Design Layout: Create a rough sketch of your website's layout. Consider which sections you'll need, such as a hero section, content section, speaker's section, event schedule, sponsors, gallery, and footer.
2. HTML Structure: Develop the HTML structure for each section, in accordance with your design. Use HTML5 semantic elements like `<header>`, `<section>`, `<footer>`, and others, wherever appropriate.
3. CSS Styling: Style your website using CSS. You can opt for either internal or external CSS, but ensure to use classes and IDs effectively to facilitate easier styling. Include a separate CSS file for your website's styling.
4. Responsiveness: Utilize CSS media queries to guarantee your website's responsiveness and its ability to adapt to varying screen sizes. Emphasize on a mobile-first design strategy, which involves designing for mobile screens first, followed by adding media queries to modify the design for larger screens.
5. Social Media Links: Integrate links to imaginary social media accounts.
6. Testing: Test your website across different devices and screen sizes to ensure it is fully responsive and functions as intended. Confirm all links and interactive elements are working correctly.
7. Review: Review your code and design. Look for any possible glitches or errors and clean up your code by removing unnecessary elements or comments.
