Introduction

Everybody likes music, right? So the odds are that you have heard of Spotify.

In this lab, we will be building a simplified version of the Spotify landing page:

All of the necessary assets and images are already provided. You might also find it useful to resort to the full-length PDF version of the website as a reference.

Requirements

• Fork this repo
• Clone this repo

Submission

Upon completion, run the following commands:

git add .
git commit -m "done"
git push origin master

Create Pull Request so your TAs can check up your work.

Instructions

You are provided with some assets - in the images folder, you will find the necessary images, and the text is ready for you in the index.html file. Write your HTML and CSS code in the index.html and styles/style.css files, respectively. Again, remember to follow the best practices.

The page is split into 4 sections, and we have generously cut it down into pieces!

In general, website designs don't just come out of the wild, so you will likely have mockups/sketches that you will have to integrate. Therefore, it is a good practice to help you cut the website into pieces before coding to help you structuring your HTML.

The last section isn't as detailed as the others ones, good luck 😄

Let's do this!

Iteration 1: Navbar

• The navbar should be position: fixed.
• Align the logo to the left and the ul with the links to the right, either using float or flex.

Iteration 2: Large image background with text

• Check out this guide on centering things.

Iteration 3: What is on Spotify section

• It looks like the divs take up about a third of the container each. How can you represent this in code?

Iteration 4: The green section

• It looks like we have 2 main sections, a containing element with the text flowing from top to bottom and the image of the Spotify player on the right.
• Position the Spotify logo absolutely according to the green div.

Happy coding! ❤️
