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

• Fork the project into your GitHub user account
• Clone the forked project into a directory on your machine
• You are now ready to build this project with your preferred IDE

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
