The project focuses on challenging the user on his/her html/css skills. This will be done over various levels(increasing difficulty as the levels increase).

The idea is to help the user develop his personal website by giving challenges. I have divided the development of the personal website into XYZ(approx. 40 : final edit to be made) levels. The emphasis on making personal website is to keep the user motivated throughout the duration and this will act as an incentive to keep working hard.

The challenge website will be a index of the levels each linked to a page which will have a challenge link and some description to help the user with the task at hand.

 I am new to Open Source. I have always been fascinated by the world of OSS, the way that people share their work with the world with only one objective : to make the world a better place. This is the reason I want to work on an open-source project.

About my project

What is the name of your project?
 Web Confusion

Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it? What technologies (programming languages, etc.) will you be using?
 The project focuses on challenging the user on his/her html/css skills. This will be done over various levels(increasing difficulty as the levels increase). The idea is to help the user develop his personal website by giving challenges. I have divided the development of the personal website into XYZ(approx. 40 : final edit to be made) levels. The emphasis on making personal website is to keep the user motivated throughout the duration and this will act as an incentive to keep working hard. The challenge website will be a index of the levels each linked to a page which will have a challenge link and some description to help the user with the task at hand. Initially, the user will just make a template for his/her website and then tweaks to this design will be introduced so as to develop a fully functional website which will include a biography, his/her portfolio and blog.(Not sure if I should mention these things in the proposal here).

            • In the medium levels, the user will be taught to use HTML5 for audio/video embedding. In the end stages, use of bootstrap will be taught. By this time, user will be completely proficient in html and css and should be taught to use templates directly for making and editing professional websites. By learning bootstrap, user will be able to make a good looking, elegant website with ease.******


What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is from May 19 - August 22; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (27 June); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.
 I will be starting from May 4 because I have my end term evaluations of this semester till May 4.
