|
13 | | -## The challenge |
14 | | - |
15 | | -Your challenge is to build out this calculator app and get it looking as close to the design as possible. |
16 | | - |
17 | | -You can use any tools you like to help you complete the challenge. So if you've got something you'd like to practice, feel free to give it a go. |

28 | | -## Where to find everything |
29 | | - |
30 | | -Your task is to build out the project to the designs inside the `/design` folder. You will find both a mobile and a desktop version of the design. |
31 | | - |
32 | | -The designs are in JPG static format. Using JPGs will mean that you'll need to use your best judgment for styles such as `font-size`, `padding` and `margin`. |
33 | | - |
34 | | -If you would like the design files (we provide Sketch & Figma versions) to inspect the design in more detail, you can [subscribe as a PRO member](https://www.frontendmentor.io/pro). |
35 | | - |
36 | | -You will find all the required assets in the `/images` folder. The assets are already optimized. |
37 | | - |
38 | | -There is also a `style-guide.md` file containing the information you'll need, such as color palette and fonts. |
39 | | - |
40 | | -## Building your project |
41 | | - |
42 | | -Feel free to use any workflow that you feel comfortable with. Below is a suggested process, but do not feel like you need to follow these steps: |
43 | | - |
44 | | -1. Initialize your project as a public repository on [GitHub](https://github.com/). Creating a repo will make it easier to share your code with the community if you need help. If you're not sure how to do this, [have a read-through of this Try Git resource](https://try.github.io/). |
45 | | -2. Configure your repository to publish your code to a web address. This will also be useful if you need some help during a challenge as you can share the URL for your project with your repo URL. There are a number of ways to do this, and we provide some recommendations below. |
46 | | -3. Look through the designs to start planning out how you'll tackle the project. This step is crucial to help you think ahead for CSS classes to create reusable styles. |
47 | | -4. Before adding any styles, structure your content with HTML. Writing your HTML first can help focus your attention on creating well-structured content. |
48 | | -5. Write out the base styles for your project, including general content styles, such as `font-family` and `font-size`. |
49 | | -6. Start adding styles to the top of the page and work down. Only move on to the next section once you're happy you've completed the area you're working on. |
50 | | - |
51 | | -## Deploying your project |
52 | | - |
53 | | -As mentioned above, there are many ways to host your project for free. Our recommend hosts are: |

|
61 | | -## Create a custom `README.md` |
| 33 | +### Links |
62 | 34 |
|
63 | | -We strongly recommend overwriting this `README.md` with a custom one. We've provided a template inside the [`README-template.md`](./README-template.md) file in this starter code. |

| 36 | +- Live Site URL: [live site](https://gpend.github.io/calc-app/) |
64 | 37 |
|
65 | | -The template provides a guide for what to add. A custom `README` will help you explain your project and reflect on your learnings. Please feel free to edit our template as much as you like. |
| 38 | +## My process |
66 | 39 |
|
67 | | -Once you've added your information to the template, delete this file and rename the `README-template.md` file to `README.md`. That will make it show up as your repository's README file. |
