Frontend Mentor - Dine Website Challenge

Welcome! 👋

Thanks for purchasing this premium Frontend Mentor coding challenge.

Frontend Mentor challenges allow you to improve your skills in a real-life workflow. These premium challenges are perfect portfolio pieces, so please do feel free to use what you build in your portfolio to show others.

To do this challenge, you need a solid understanding of HTML and CSS and a basic understanding of JavaScript.

The challenge

Your challenge is to build out this multi-page website and get it looking as close to the design as possible.

You can use any tools you like to help you complete the challenge. So if you've got something you'd like to practice, feel free to give it a go.

Your users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for each page depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements throughout the site
• See the correct content for the Family Gatherings, Special Events, and Social Events section when the user clicks each tab
• Receive an error message when the booking form is submitted if:
  • The Name or Email Address fields are empty should show "This field is required"
  • The Email Address is not formatted correctly should show "Please use a valid email address"
  • Any of the Pick a date or Pick a time fields are empty should show "This field is incomplete"

Where to find everything

Your task is to build out the project to the designs inside the /designs folder. You'll see that the original Sketch design file has been included in the project.

If you don't have Sketch you can use Sketch Cloud Inspector to view the design in the browser. To learn more and get set up with it please take a look at the README in the /designs folder.

You will also find mobile, tablet, desktop, and active state designs in JPG format if you wish to use them.

All the required assets for this project are in the /images folder. The assets are already exported for the correct screen size and optimized. You'll see that for each JPG image there is also a @2x version, which is twice the size and can be used for high resolution screens.

The design system will give you more information about the various colors, fonts, and styles used in this project.

Building your project

Feel free to use any workflow that you feel comfortable with. Below is a suggested process, but do not feel like you need to follow these steps:

1. Separate the starter-code from the rest of this project and rename it to something meaningful for you. Initialize the codebase as a public repository on GitHub. This will make it easier to share your code with the community if you need some help. If you're not sure how to do this, have a read through of this Try Git resource. IMPORTANT: There are already a couple of .gitignore files in this project. Please do not remove them or change the content of the files. This is to avoid the accidental upload of the designs to GitHub. With these premium challenges, please be sure not to share the JPG designs or the Sketch design in your GitHub repo. Thanks!
2. Configure your repository to publish your code to a URL. This will also be useful if you need some help during a challenge as you can share the URL for your project with your repo URL. There are a number of ways to do this, but we recommend using Vercel. We've got more information about deploying your project with Vercel below.
3. Look through the designs to start planning out how you'll tackle the project. This step is crucial to help you think ahead for CSS classes that you could create to make reusable styles.
4. Before adding any styles, structure your content with HTML. Writing your HTML first can help focus your attention on creating well-structured content.
5. Write out the base styles for your project, including general content styles, such as font-family and font-size.
6. Start adding styles to the top of the page and work down. Only move on to the next section once you're happy you've completed the area you're working on.
7. If you'd like to try making your project fully responsive, we'd recommend checking out Sizzy. It's a great browser that makes it easy to view your site across multiple devices.

Deploying your project

As mentioned above, there are a number of ways to host your project for free. We recommend using Vercel as it's an amazing service and extremely simple to get set up with. If you'd like to use Vercel, here are some steps to follow to get started:

1. Sign up to Vercel and go through the onboarding flow, ensuring your GitHub account is connected by using their Vercel for GitHub integration.
2. Connect your project to Vercel from the "Import project" page, using the "From Git Repository" button and selecting the project you want to deploy.
3. Once connected, every time you git push, Vercel will create a new deployment and the deployment URL will be shown on your Dashboard. You will also receive an email for each deployment with the URL.

Sharing your solution

There are multiple places you can share your solution:

1. Submit it on the platform so that other users will see your solution on the site. Here's our "Complete guide to submitting solutions" to help you do that. With these premium challenges please be sure not to upload the JPG designs or the Sketch design to GitHub when you're submitting to the platform and sharing it around.
2. Share your solution page in the #finished-projects channel of the Slack community.
3. Tweet @frontendmentor and mention @frontendmentor including the repo and live URLs in the tweet. We'd love to take a look at what you've built and help share it around.

Giving feedback

Feedback is always welcome, so if you have any to give on this challenge please email hi[at]frontendmentor[dot]io.

Have fun building! 🚀
