9:45 CSS Grid & Flex box- Class Project – Building a Calendar for December
This is a surprising easy project using CSS Grid. Let’s do this together. We’ll code in Atom.
It’s known that HTML is for structure and CSS is for style. However, CSS Grid does provide a lot of structure too.
This calendar can be styled many ways. Let’s focus on the fundamentals first. Then go at the project and give it some of your own styles. When complete, FTP to your fileserver.

11:15 WEBsite REdesign: Victim: Purinton Tree Farm https://www.purintontreefarm.com
In my house we celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas. Last week I cut down a tree from Purinton Tree Farm out in Huntington. They are great people and the trees are excellent. However, they do not have a great website. Their website was made using the WIX platform that has lots of predesigned layouts. I’m not convinced they chose the right template.
Good thing you all are web designers.
The Task: Design a new Website for Purinton Tree Farm
The Deliverables:
- Three page website with linking pages
- Head tags with meta data
- Updated and modern styling
- Loyal to the brand and business
- Use images on the site as you see fit
- Copyright Free content if you are using additional images (or take your own!)
- No Facebook embed, repeat no Facebook embed
- HTML, CSS Validation, also, no web-aim accessibility errors (wave.webaim.org)
- One Breakpoint for screens smaller than 414px
- Commented Clean Code
- Upload final website to the server. PurintonTreeFarm
This Project is Due end of day, Wednesday, December 8th
Things you are encouraged to try (but not required):
- Creating a sketch design / wireframe
