'''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?<br>'''

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 approximately 35 levels(will be finalized only after the project gets accepted). 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, blog and contact page.(Not sure if I should mention these things in the proposal here.

At first, the student will be taught about conventions in web development and directory for the website will be made by the student. Next, students will just make a template for their website and then tweaks to this design will be introduced so as to develop a fully functional website which will include a biography, their portfolio, blog and contact page.

In the mid - levels, the user will be taught to use HTML5 for audio/video embedding. The user will also be taught to make the website's responsive so that their website perform perfectly on mobile devices as well. The 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.<br>
