The information that follows describes how we created our site.

Design Brief


Theme

Challenge Statement

Design a website for a vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Showcase the restaurant’s approach (such as farm-to-table, preparation processes, and sustainability) to the food served in the restaurant.







Coding and Design



Our team spent many hours researching, planning, storyboarding, and building our site. For our design, we ultimately decided to build pages with either a two or three column layout that utilized eye-catching hero images and a top, horizontal navigation bar. After much research and experimentation, we determined that Bootstrap would accomodate this layout style. Furthermore, we wanted a clean, simple design that was compatible with multiple Internet browsers, as well as mobile devices.

We designed our site using HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap, the most popular HTML, CSS, and JavaScript framework for developing responsive, mobile-first web sites. Numerous days were spent researching website design and current technologies. For those students unfamilar with website design, we utilized the tutorials at W3schools.com for practice and inspiration. Furthermore, our site was coded using HTML5, the most recent standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3), and built using a combination of Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Fireworks, and Notepad++. All code written for this site is original and written during the current school year.









Content



Unless otherwise noted, all of our text content is original. Our TSA team researched the theme throughout the school year and divided it into sections that covered the suggested topics in the Webmaster design brief. All images are either original, taken by club members, included with Bootstrap, or royalty free and downloaded from Pexels free photos and videos.
