Friday Feb 15 Challenge
Let’s try to reproduce this website as quickly as possible.
Whether you are working in a web development context or just next to produce websites for your own research, you’ll need to be able to compose sites quickly. You may not always have a CMS like WordPress. Let’s build this from scratch using Bootstrap.
Review the HTML dev architecture from scratch to publication
- Create dev environment
- Create directories for
- A project called Marathi
- resources
- scripts
- sass/css
- Establish localhost that points to the dev environment
- http://localhost/GitHub/ODS_webdesign/Marathi/index.html
- Create HTML and CSS files
- Link to Bootstrap files either locally or via CDN
What is the basic page structure?
- Navbar
- Jumbotron
- Footer
Configure the body with a background image
[code language="css"] background-image: url("../resources/Trailhead.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size:cover; [/code]
Use an ID to place a translucent background behind the title
[code language="css"] #titleFrame { background-color: rgba(211, 211, 211, 0.527); } [/code]
Here is the UChicago color palette:
