INTROUCTION
1.1 WHAT IS WEB DEVELOPMENT?
Web development, also known as website development, refers to the tasks associated with
creating, building, and maintaining websites and web applications that run online on a browser.
It may, however, also include web design, web programming, and database management. Web
development is closely related to the job of designing the features and functionality of apps
(web design). The term development is usually reserved for the actual construction of these
things (that is to say, the programming of sites). The basic tools involved in web development
are programming languages called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style
Sheets), and JavaScript. There are, however, a number of other programs used to “manage” or
facilitate the construction of sites that would otherwise have to be done “from scratch” by
writing code. A number of content management systems (CMS) fall into this category, including
WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, TYPO3, and Adobe Experience Manager, among others.
FIGURE 1.1
Web development is closely related to the job of designing the features and functionality of
websites and apps (often called “web design”), but the “web development” term is usually
reserved for the actual construction and programming of websites and apps. Think of all the web
pages we have used over the years – Web Developers built those sites, making sure they
functioned properly and performed in ways that allowed for a great user experience. Web
Developers do this by writing lines of code, using a variety of programming languages, which
vary depending on the tasks they are performing and the platforms they are working on.
Web Development vs. Web Design
P a g e | 10
Though there is overlap, there are also key differences between web development and web
design. Let’s take a closer look:
Web Designers:
Create everything a user sees on a website or software product, including all visual, color,
typography, and usability elements
Work directly with a client to create designs or work as part of a team to develop client
vision
May need knowledge of a programming language or some coding skills, or at least some
level of familiarity with widely used languages such as HTML, CSS, PHP, and
JavaScript
Create wireframes and prototypes to test design ideas, offer input on design logos,
branding, company style guides
Web Developer:
Write the code that makes a website function, whether they work on the front end or back
end (server-side)
FIGURE 1.2
Web development refers to the process of building and maintaining websites, web applications,
and other digital products that are accessed through the internet. Web development involves a
wide range of tasks, including web design, programming, database management, content
creation, and testing.
Web development can be broadly categorized into two areas:
1. Front-end development: This area of web development is concerned with designing and
building the visual elements of a website or web application that users interact with.
Front-end developers typically work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create user
interfaces that are responsive, accessible, and visually appealing.
2. Back-end development: This area of web development is concerned with building the
server-side components of a website or web application, including the database, APIs,
and other server-side scripting languages. Back-end developers typically work with
languages such as PHP, Ruby on Rails, Python, or Node.js.
Web development requires a variety of skills, including coding, web design, project
management, and communication. It also involves keeping up-to-date with the latest
technologies and best practices in the industry. Successful web development projects require a
team of professionals who can work together to create a high-quality website or web application
that meets the needs of its users.
WHAT IS FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT?
Front-end development involves the “client-facing” side of web development. That is to say
usually, front-end web development refers to the portion of the site, app, or digital product that
users will see and interact with. A Front-End Developer, therefore, is responsible for the way a
digital product looks and “feels,” which is why they are often also referred to as Web Designers.
Front-End Web Developers focus on translating website design and visual ideas into code. A
front-end Software Developer takes the design ideas created by others on web development
teams and programs them into reality, acting as a bridge between design and technology.

1. The growing interest in home design: Home design and renovation projects have become
increasingly popular in recent years, with many individuals looking to personalize and
improve their living spaces. This has created a demand for online resources that can
provide inspiration, advice, and tools for these projects.
2. Accessible design tools: With the rise of technology, there has been a shift towards more
accessible and user-friendly design tools that can help individuals create and visualize
their home designs. These tools can range from 3D rendering software to online design
apps that allow users to experiment with different colours, patterns, and furniture layouts.
3. Diversity of design styles: There are many different design styles to choose from when it
comes to home design, including modern, traditional, rustic, and eclectic. A home design
website can showcase these different styles and inspire users who may be unsure about
what kind of design they want to pursue.
5. Role of social media: Social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have become
an important resources for home design enthusiasts, providing a visual platform for
sharing and discovering new design ideas. A successful home design website will likely
incorporate social media into its marketing and outreach strategies.
By understanding these aspects of the background of a home design website, developers can
create a website that is tailored to the needs and interests of its target audience.

that meets the needs of its users.
The aim of a study on a home design website is to create a platform that provides accessible,
user-friendly, and inspiring resources for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts to find inspiration,
advice, and tools for their design and renovation projects. The objectives of the study may
include the following:
1. To identify the needs and preferences of the target audience: This could involve
conducting surveys or focus groups to understand what users are looking for in a home
design website, what design styles they are interested in, and what resources and tools
they need to complete their projects successfully.
2. To develop a user-friendly interface: This objective involves creating a website that is
easy to navigate, visually appealing, and provides a seamless user experience.
3. To provide a range of design resources and tools: This objective involves providing a
variety of resources and tools that users can use to plan and execute their home design
projects, such as 3D rendering software, online design apps, and tutorials.
P a g e | 18
4. To create valuable content: This objective involves creating high-quality content that
provides value to the target audience, such as blog posts, design tutorials, and product
reviews.
5. To optimize the website for search engines: This objective involves using search engine
optimization (SEO) techniques to increase the website's visibility in search engine results
pages (SERPs) and drive traffic to the website.
6. To promote the website through social media: This objective involves leveraging social
media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook to promote the website and
reach a wider audience.
By achieving these objectives, the study can create a home design website that meets the needs
and preferences of its target audience, provides valuable resources and tools, and promotes a
positive user experience.

CHAPTER-2
TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES USED
In this chapter, we get to know about the technologies used for fulfilment of the project.
2.1 HTML:
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the code that is used to
structure a web page and its content. For example, content could be
structured within a set of paragraphs, a list of bulleted points, or using
images and data tables. As the title suggests, this article will give we a
basic understanding of HTML and its functions. HTML is a markup
language that defines the structure of our content. HTML consists of a
series of elements, which we use to enclose, or wrap, different parts of
the content to make it appear a certain way, or act a certain way. The
enclosing tags can make a word or image hyperlink to somewhere else,can italicize words, can
make the font bigger or smaller, and so on. HTML can embed programs written in a scripting
language such as JavaScript, which affects the behavior and content of web pages. Inclusion of
CSS defines the look and layout of content. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), former
maintainer of the HTML and current maintainer of the CSS standards, has encouraged the use of
CSS over explicit presentational HTML since 1997. A form of HTML, known as HTML5, is
used to display video and audio, primarily using the element, in collaboration with JavaScript.
HTML Markup:
HTML markup consists of several key components, including those called tags (and their
attributes), character-based data types, character references and entity references. HTML tags
most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some represent empty elements
and so are unpaired, for example <img>The first tag in such a pair is the start tag, and the second
is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). Another important component
is the HTML document type declaration, which triggers standards mode rendering. The text
between and <html> and </html> describes the web page,
and the text between <body> and </body> is the visible page content.
The markup text <title>This is a title</title> defines the browser page title shown on browser
tabs and window titles, and the tag <div> defines a division of the page used for easy styling.
Additionally, a <meta> element is used in between <head> and </head>, which can be used to
define the webpage’s metadata.
P a g e | 22
The Document Type Declaration <!DOCTYPE html> is for HTML5. If a declaration is not
included, various browsers will revert to "quirks mode" for rendering.
HTML Elements:
The general form of an HTML element is therefore: <tag attribute1="value1"
attribute2="value2">''content''</tag>.
Some HTML elements are defined as empty elements and take the form <tag
attribute1="value1" attribute2="value2">. Empty elements may enclose no content, for
instance, the <br> tag or the inline <img> tag. The name of an HTML element is the name used
in the tags.

specification has been discussed and officially ratified by the W3C members, it becomes a
recommendation.
These ratified specifications are called recommendations because the W3C has no control
over the actual implementation of the language. Independent companies and
organizations create that software.
NOTE : The World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C is a group that makes recommendations
about how the Internet works and how it should evolve. CSS Versions
Cascading Style Sheets level 1 (CSS1) came out of W3C as a recommendation in December
1996. This version describes the CSS language as well as a simple visual formatting model for
all the HTML tags.
CSS2 became a W3C recommendation in May 1998 and builds on CSS1. This version adds
support for media-specific style sheets e.g. printers and aural devices, downloadable fonts,
element positioning and tables.
CSS Selectors
A CSS comprises of style rules that are interpreted by the browser and then applied to the
corresponding elements in our document. A style rule is made of three parts
Selector
A selector is an HTML tag at which a style will be applied. This could be any tag like <h1> or
<table> etc.
FIGURE 2.2
Property
A property is a type of attribute of HTML tag. Put simply, all the HTML attributes are converted
into CSS properties. They could be color,
P a g e | 25
border etc.
Value
Values are assigned to properties. For example, color property can have value either red or
#F1F1F1 etc.
we can put CSS Style Rule Syntax as follows
selector { property: value }
CSS declaration
In CSS, selectors declare which part of the markup a style applies to by matching tags and
attributes in the markup itself. Selectors may apply to the following:
all elements of a specific type, e.g. the second-level headers h2 elements specified by attribute, in
particular:
id: an identifier unique within the document, identified with a hash prefix e.g. #id
class: an identifier that can annotate multiple elements in a document, identified
with a period prefix e.g. .classname
elements depending on how they are placed relative to others in the document tree.
Classes and IDs are case-sensitive, start with letters, and can include alphanumeric characters,
hyphens, and underscores. A class may apply to any number of instances of any elements. An ID
may only be applied to a single element.
A declaration block consists of a list of declarations in braces. Each declaration itself consists of
a property, a colon (:), and a value. If there are multiple declarations in a block, a semi-colon
(;) must be inserted to separate each declaration. An optional semi-colon after the last (or
single) declaration may be used. Properties are specified in the CSS standard. Each property has
a set of possible values. Some properties can affect any type of element, and others apply only to
particular groups of elements. Values may be keywords, such as "center" or "inherit", or
numerical values, such as 200px (200 pixels), 50vw (50 percent of the viewport width) or 80%
(80 percent of the parent element's width).

2.3 JAVASCRIPT
JavaScript is a dynamic computer programming language. It is lightweight
and most commonly used as a part of web pages, whose implementations
allow client-side script to interact with the user and make dynamic pages. It
is an interpreted programming language with object-oriented capabilities.
JavaScript was first known as Live Script, but Netscape changed its name to
JavaScript, possibly because of the excitement being generated by Java.
JavaScript made its first appearance in Netscape 2.0 in 1995 with the name Live Script. The
general-purpose core of the language has been embedded in
Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other web browsers.
The ECMA-262 HYPERLINK "http://www.ecma- international.org/publications/index.html"
HYPERLINK "http://www.ecmainternational.org/publications/index.html"Specification
defineda standard version of the core JavaScript language.
• JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language.
• Designed for creating network-centric applications.
• Complementary to and integrated with Java.
• Complementary to and integrated with HTML.
• Open and cross platform Client Side JavaScript
Client-side JavaScript is the most common form of the language. The script should be included
in or referenced by an HTML document for the code to be interpreted by the browser.
It means that a web page need not be a static HTML, but can include programs that
interact with the user, control the browser, and dynamically create HTML content.
The JavaScript client-side mechanism provides many advantages over traditional CGI server-
side scripts. For example, we might use JavaScript to check if the user has entered a valid e-mail
address in a form field. The JavaScript code is executed when the user submits the form, and
only if all the entries are valid, they would be submitted to the Web Server.
JavaScript can be used to trap user-initiated events such as button clicks, link navigation, and
other actions that the user initiates explicitly or implicitly.
Advantages of JavaScript
The merits of using JavaScript are
• Less server interaction We can validate user input before sending the page off to the
server. This saves server traffic, which means less load on our server.
P a g e | 27
• Immediate feedback to the visitors They don't have to wait for a page reload to see if
they have forgotten to enter something.
• Increased interactivity We can create interfaces that react when the user hovers over them
with a mouse or activates them via the keyboard.
• Richer interfaces We can use JavaScript to include such items as drag- and-drop
components and sliders to give a Rich Interface to our site visitors.
Limitations of JavaScript
We cannot treat JavaScript as a full-fledged programming language. It lacks the following
important features
• Client-side JavaScript does not allow the reading or writing of files. This has been kept
for security reason.
JavaScript cannot be used for networking applications because there is no such support available.
• JavaScript doesn't have any multi-threading or multiprocessor capabilities. Once again,
JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language that allows we to build
interactivity into otherwise static HTML pages.
JavaScript Development Tools
One of major strengths of JavaScript is that it does not require expensive development
tools. We can start with a simple text editor such as Notepad. Since it is an interpreted language
inside the context of a web browser, we don't even need to buy a compiler.
To make our life simpler, various vendors have come up with very nice JavaScript editing tools.
Some of them are listed here
• Microsoft FrontPage Microsoft has developed a popular HTML editor called FrontPage.
FrontPage also provides web developers with a number of JavaScript tools to assist in the
creation of interactive websites.
• Macromedia Dreamweaver MX Macromedia Dreamweaver MX is a very popular
HTML and JavaScript editor in the professional web development crowd. It provides
several handy prebuilt JavaScript components, integrates well with databases, and
conforms to new standards such as XHTML and XML.
• Macromedia HomeSite 5 HomeSite 5 is a well-liked HTML and JavaScript editor
from Macromedia that can be used to manage personal websites effectively.
JavaScript can be implemented using JavaScript statements that are placed within the <script>...
</script> HTML tags in a web page. We can place the <script> tags, containing our JavaScript,
anywhere within our web page, but it is normally recommended that we should keep it within the
P a g e | 28
<head> tags.
The <script> tag alerts the browser program to start interpreting all the text between these tags as
a script. A simple syntax of our JavaScript will appear as follows.
<script ...>
