Santafied - Hacktoberfest 2019

Santafied

Welcome to this year's HTML challenge for Hacktoberfest (What is Hacktoberfest?). A project with beginners and aspiring developers in mind, utilizing HTML, CSS & maybe a dash of JavaScript to achieve a simplistic yet elegant Christmas themed website.

Everyone is encouraged to participate, regardless of your skill level. This is a practice project and should be considered a playground. This project has plenty of options for collaboration, here are just a few of the many that we welcome pull requests:

  • HTML elements
  • CSS styling
  • Images
  • Text/Copy
  • Documentation
  • Fix Typos, Code Bugs or Accessibility oversights

Project Brief

Over the years Santa Claus has noticed a decline in the Christmas spirit and is in desperate need of our help! Santa and his elves have put together a basic design concept for a brand new website they want to be able to launch in November.

The website should provide visitors with the following:

  • A page for Christmas information and facts.
  • Recipes page for traditional food and drinks of Christmas
  • Gift suggestions for secret santas
  • Lyrics for Christmas songs 🎵
  • Christmas games 🎮
  • Christmas Films 🎥
  • Christmas Books 📚
  • Christmas Activities 🤪
  • Christmas themed party costumes 👻
  • Christmas themed backgrounds 🗻
  • Christmas themed name generator webapp 📱
