Preprocessing II: Fun Bus Website

Fun Bus is a travel agency looking for some help on their website. They want a new navigation, new header, and new buttons on the home page. They also want a mobile version of their site styled. Use your preprocessing knowledge to accomplish their tasks.

Task 1: Set Up The Project With Git

  • Create a forked copy of this project.
  • Add your project manager as collaborator on Github.
  • Clone your OWN version of the repository (Not Lambda's by mistake!).
  • Create a new branch: git checkout -b <firstName-lastName>.
  • Implement the project on your newly created <firstName-lastName> branch, committing changes regularly.
  • Push commits: git push origin <firstName-lastName>.

Follow these steps for completing your project.

  • Submit a Pull-Request to merge Branch into master (student's Repo). Please don't merge your own pull request
  • Add your project manager as a reviewer on the pull-request
  • Your project manager will count the project as complete by merging the branch back into master.

Task 2: Set up your preprocessor

  • Verify that you have LESS installed correctly by running lessc -v in your terminal, if you don't get a version message back, reach out to your project manager for help.
  • Open your terminal and navigate to your preprocessing project by using the cd command
  • Once in your project's root folder, run the following command less-watch-compiler less css index.less
  • Verify your compiler is working correctly by changing the background-color on the html selector to red in your index.less file.
  • Once you see the red screen, you can delete that style and you're ready to start on the next task

Task 3: Import LESS Files

  • Navigate to your index.less file. Notice the file is blank. In order for you to see the styles for this project you must import them in a certain order. That order is as follows:
  1. variables.less
  2. mixins.less
  3. reset.less
  4. global.less
  5. navigation.less
  6. footer.less
  7. home-page.less

Task 4: Desktop Updates Needed

  • Review the desktop design file. Notice the navigation, header, and buttons at the bottom of the page are missing.
  • Navigation: Use the navigation.less file for all your navigation styling
  • Main Header: Use the home-page.less file for the header styling.
  • Buttons: Create a parametric mixin that can create the missing buttons in the design file. Use the mixins.less file to create your mixin.

Task 5: Mobile Updates Needed

  • Use escaping to create a variable named @mobile that contains this value: (max-width: 500px). Use the variables.less file to house your styling.
  • Review the mobile design file. You will see several design updates that need updating.
  • Match the design file at 500px as well as you can

Stretch Goals:

  • Create an animation mixin using parametric mixins
  • Introduce a form with inputs allowing users to select a vacation package and a submit button at the bottom of the page. Introduce inputs for name, email, phone number, and an area for them to leave special instructions.
  • Style the site to look good at all sizes, not just desktop and phone
